Thanks Peter, yes, thats how I was planning on removing accounts, was just curious if theres a way to automate this or even run a script once a month to delete accounts that either were disabled in AD or deleted.

I was just given the honor of becoming my company’s OCS 2007 R2 admin. Yay! Well, my plan is to get to the latest and greatest sooner rather than later. <br />
<br />
In the meantime, I noticed that we use a script to add and enable AD User Accounts their SIP addresses, etc.<br />
<br />
I also see that we have never cleaned up after a user leaves the company. So we have years of SIP enabled users in the OCS 2007 MMC. <br />
<br />
<b>Does anyone have any ideas, best practices, scripts that I could run to remove Communicator accounts that haven’t been touched in say 30, 60 or 120 days? </b><br />
<br />
My understanding is that deleting OCS Enabled user accounts in the OCS MMC will not delete the AD Account, which shouldn’t exist, but just in case. <br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

Instant messaging (IM) is a type of online chat that offers real-time text transmission over the Internet. A LAN messenger operates in a similar way over a local area network. More advanced instant messaging can add file transfer, clickable hyperlinks, Voice over IP, or video chat. Non-IM types of chat include multicast transmission, usually referred to as "chat rooms". Depending on the IM protocol, the technical architecture can be peer-to-peer (direct point-to-point transmission) or client-server (a central server retransmits messages from the sender to the communication device).

The life-cycle "model" is a more general term for a category of methodologies, and a software development "process" a more specific term to refer to a specific process chosen by a specific organization.
