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.
