Martin,

I wanted to write you about a couple things from episode 131 and maybe it includes things from 132. So I’m sending it to you, because I’m probably going to rant on although I’ll try to avoid that, and secondly because I’m going to include a script as a text file, and I trust my code to run in my production environment, but I have never tested it outside of that so I do not know what it could break in someone else’s, and I’m just not comfortable enough yet, at sharing my code in a wide public viewing.

So you talked about this AD Tidy program, which I think is neat, I might have to go over it some to see if there are other things I would like to use from it. However, I’ve been doing my best to shove as much of my life as possible in to PowerShell scripts. I’m a system admin/engineer, whatever you want to call me, for a company that loves to have minimal IT staff. So I have over 7,000 computer accounts, and 5,000 user accounts in my domain, we have on site Exchange, Lync, lots of VMware (about 40 hosts throughout North America including some in Moses Lake, WI and thats probably as close to you as we get). So I have lots of MS Servers, and a handful of Linux ones where it fits. Oh I also inherited a lot of Citrix stuff too, or, I’m the one that stood that part up, I can’t remember. I’m a big fan of just using what works, it fits my technology ADD, and why I run around getting random IT certifications.

Anyways, so I needed to get a hold of the computer accounts, after them being ignored for about a decade (btw I inherited this world I didn’t create it). So as just another excuse to create yet another PowerShell script, I created my “Create-InactiveSystemsReport.
