Nope, there is no last used. Kind of hard to define last used for a group
anyway, for instance for a security group it would be the last time anyone
from the group logged in and the group SID was stuffed in the user's token.

If you are talking security groups, the best to do is change the group to a
DL and then it won't get added to security groups. If there is no screaming
for a couple of months, you are probably safe.

If the group is used for non-Windows security or to send IMs or emails to a
group of people or otherwise group items (like OUs or whatever) then a
solution would be to put the groups in a heavily protected OU so nothing can
read the membership for a while and make sure no one screams. 

Either way, dump the membership to some other format so you can repopulate
as needed and before final delete, clear the membership for a while.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Obsolete Domain groups


Does anyone know of a way to identify old\obsolete domain groups?

Are the group objects in AD stamped with something like a last used date
stamp?. I am thinking a member server with some resources and domain
permissions on those resources has to ask the domain some questions about
it. 

Thanks
