Hi Guys,

We have a situation where we believe we may have a few stale computer accounts in our Active Directory. These basically belong to employees who’ve been around for a while and are now on 3 - 6 month sabbaticals. (Basically, their user accounts are technically stale as well, in that they have not been used for equally long.)

We do however need to keep them for once these employees come back, it will be business as usual for them. In the meanwhile, should we be concerned about these computer accounts in any way?

While most of them are joined to the Active Directory, some are not, but they’re still on and connected as they function as local business team file servers. While we can update the domain joined machines, we can’t always automate updating the non-domain joined ones.

I’m new to the forum, and thought I’d share my question. I’m sure most of you would have come across such a situation, and it would be helpful to get your perspectives.

Thanks,
