Hi Raoul

"VB script look  at last logon date and if it is more than 60 days
before the current day  then you can have it disable the account. "

This is exactly what I want . Would be great help if I can get the script.

It sounds like he already has the 60 day policy in place.  What he is
looking for is the ability to prevent someone from logging on after 60
days of inactivity.

OP:

You can probably script something like that by having a VB script look
at last logon date and if it is more than 60 days before the current day
then you can have it disable the account.  This will force the user to
contact the admin to reenable the account.

I can probably dig up a quick script that will do this if you need/want it.
