Delete Computer Objects Multiple Trackback

not always possible to install an AD from scratch and make its administration exclusively. The most common is to manage AD as a shared, where several people make changes. It is also common part of the administration of AD which was already running for some time, or even having to make managing multiple environments simultaneously.

is possible that many computer accounts are disabled with time (Fig 1), but is not uncommon to delete them, because until recently (with Windows 2008 R2 is very different) when an object was very faded difficult recovery.

Although multiple selection of objects to delete seems the simplest form, it should search for each OU where objects are "Computer" to clear disabled. Figure 1 shows that there are two containers in "Computer" and StandardPC OldPC.

For this you can go to the Queries that can be made from ADUC.

Fig 2 is also seen in Figure 2 that the selection is made from the container "objects Labemd" for not seeking PC elsewhere.
Figure 3 shows the result: only display objects "Computer" disabled. Now we could select all and delete them.

Preferably I would move to an OU that is called "Computers to delete DD / MM / YYYY, where DD / MM / YYYY would be a date within 30 days to remove them once after that time .
