NT4 Server Manager

i have a vb script if your interested, it will query the domain, dump a list of computers and then delete them from the domain if they haven't logged in in a given period of time.

create a textfile called dclist.txt in the same directory you are running the script from. add all your domain controllers to this file. change intAccountAge = 60 to suite your needs, i have found that any pc that hasn't logged in in 60 days  has generally been reimaged/reinstalled and given a new name. hope this helps

m1ck99, what's your definition of "inactive computers/servers"? do you mean those computers that ever logged on the network (appeared in the computer list of network neighborhood)? you want to know the date of their last logon?
