Active Directory - Disable users in a group after an elapsed time of inactivity

@anthonyh said in Active Directory - Disable users in a group after an elapsed time of inactivity:

OK! I think I threw together something that will do what I want!

import-module activedirectory
$disableList = @(get-adgroupmember 'DisableMeNao' | select -expandproperty SamAccountName)

$expiration = (get-date).adddays(-30)

foreach ($acct in $disableList) {
    $lastLogon = get-aduser $acct -properties lastlogondate | select -expandproperty lastlogondate
    if ($lastLogon -lt $expiration) {
        echo "$acct's last logon was more than 30 days ago. Account has been disabled."
        disable-adaccount -identity $acct
    }
}

/me passes you a hard hat and puts one on myself.

Slight improvement

$adGroup = "DisableMeNao"
$days = "30"

#####

import-module activedirectory
$disableList = @(get-adgroupmember $adGroup | select -expandproperty SamAccountName)

$expiration = (get-date).adddays(-$days)

foreach ($acct in $disableList) {
    $lastLogon = get-aduser $acct -properties lastlogondate | select -expandproperty lastlogondate
    if ($lastLogon -lt $expiration) {
        echo "$acct's last logon was more than $days days ago. Account has been disabled."
        disable-adaccount -identity $acct
    }
}

I might even turn the two variables into parameters so they are specified when executing the script.

kill_it_with_fire.ps -Group 'DisableMeNao' -Days '30'

Hmmm...

Same here - take care. Last logon normally won't be synced between DCs. You need to loop through Get-ADDomainController results and query each DC individually.

[anthonyh]

Ok, another improvement. Parameter-ized the variables. You would run it like so:

script.ps1 -group 'AD Group' -days 8675309 -test NO

If days isn't specified the default is 30. If "-test NO" is not specified, it will print the eligible accounts but not disable them.

param (
    [string]$group,
    [string]$days = 30,
    [string]$test = "y"
)

if ( -not ($group)) {
    $scriptName = $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name
    echo "Group parameter missing."
    echo "Script usage: $scriptName -group `'AD Group`' -days 30 -test NO"
    echo "If `"-days`" isn't specified the default is 30."
    echo "If `"-test NO`" isn't specified, no changes will be made."
    exit
}

#####

echo "Disabling accounts in group $group that have no logged in for more than $days day(s)."
if ( $test -ne "NO") { echo "Running in **TEST** mode.  No changes will be made!" }

import-module activedirectory
$disableList = @(get-adgroupmember $group | select -expandproperty SamAccountName)

$expiration = (get-date).adddays(-$days)

foreach ($acct in $disableList) {
    $lastLogon = get-aduser $acct -properties lastlogondate | select -expandproperty lastlogondate
    if ($lastLogon -lt $expiration) {
        echo "$acct's last logon was more than $days days ago. Account selected to be disabled."
        if ($test -eq "NO") {
            disable-adaccount -identity $acct
            echo "$acct disabled"
        }
    }
}

I will look into this. Thanks!

There's a couple of attributes that won't be synced. There isn't a complete list, AFAIK, but badLogonCount is another example.

Looks like I need to use LastLogontimestamp as this is replicated among DCs.

Fixed! Now using lastLogonTimestamp.

param (
    [string]$group,
    [string]$days = 30,
    [string]$test = "y"
)

if ( -not ($group)) {
    $scriptName = $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name
    echo "Group parameter missing."
    echo "Script usage: $scriptName -group `'AD Group`' -days 30 -test NO"
    echo "If `"-days`" isn't specified the default is 30."
    echo "If `"-test NO`" isn't specified, no changes will be made."
    exit
}

echo "Disabling accounts in group $group that have no logged in for more than $days day(s)."
if ( $test -ne "NO") { echo "Running in **TEST** mode.  No changes will be made!" }

import-module activedirectory
$disableList = @(get-adgroupmember $group | select -expandproperty SamAccountName)

$expiration = (get-date).adddays(-$days)

foreach ($acct in $disableList) {
    $lastLogonTS = get-aduser $acct -properties lastlogontimestamp | select -expandproperty 
lastlogontimestamp
    $lastLogon = [datetime]::FromFileTime($lastLogonTS)
    if ($lastLogon -lt $expiration) {
        echo "$acct's last logon was on $lastLogon which was more than $days days ago and is eligible 
for deactivation."
        if ($test -eq "NO") {
            disable-adaccount -identity $acct
            echo "$acct disabled"
        }
    }
}

Another revision.

Added logic for when "lastlogontimestamp" does not exist. This indicates the account has never logged in. So now if "lastlogontimestamp" doesn't exist it checks the account's creation date and disables the account if the creation date is past the expiration threshold.

Also added basic email reporting.

    [string]$group,
    [string]$days = 30,
    [string]$test = "y"

# 1) never logged in and are older than the expration, or 2) if the last login is older than the expiration.
