How do most admins keep track of active computers in active directory
There has been a number of computers that are inactive. We never had any sort of master list to keep track of active or inactive computers. Now we must do some housecleaning in our active directory and remove computers that no longer exists. What do most admins do or what is there approach for house cleaning the AD environment? how would I know what machines are inactive so I can remove them from active directory

Hello Lee W,
I am using your method and have ran DSQUERY Computer -inactive 13 to identify inactive computers. I see the results. Is there a way to export the results to Excel?

Never use Powershell before, and need some help. I've placed the powershell script in the following directory of an AD server in which i plan to execute it on.
I bring up PS and ran the command but got the following error below.
Can someone please tell me the proper command?
