I've used Hyena many times in the past to purge old computer accounts. You can run querys on it very easily that will tell you the last time the machine pswd was changed.

How do you guys with larger org's handle keeping AD tidy and not having a bunch on non-existent system, user and group accounts? I work for a mid-size org and am almost certainly the only Systems Engineer here who is willing to take the time to try and maintain AD. If I do an AD query of systems with "description has a value" I come up with 191 objects. A search of computers with "description has a no value" comes up with 811, and since NWEA has ~250 employees and 140-ish servers I'm pretty sure there is a ton of clutter in there. Ferreting out the invalid desktops/laptops is the bigger issue of the two. Suggestions?
