Board index » Visual Studio » HOW TO: Determine if a user is Disabled

Visual Studio325
I wrote a script a few months ago that we ran through our environment to

determine what local users existed on the workstations. If I found any

"non-approved" locally created (non-domain) users in the Administrators or

Power Users groups I disabled them. Now I want to go through and delete

those disabled users. Is there a scripting way to determine if a local user

is disabled?



Thanks,



Tom

Hi



sUser = "some user"



Set oWshNet = CreateObject("WScript.Network")



Set oUser = GetObject("WinNT://" _

& oWshNet.ComputerName & "/" & sUser & ",user")



bUserDisabled = CBool(oUser.AccountDisabled)



If bUserDisabled Then

WScript.Echo "User is disabled"

Else

WScript.Echo "User is not disabled"

End If
