Testimonial:

We have a routine to create our Active Directory users and UMRA has helped us minimize these repetitive administration tasks. It has freed us to do what we need to do and not on what we have to do. The tech support is really incredible. I called them with my first task, and I was updating my AD in minutes not in days as before. Please keep up the good work.

Environment

The environment involves a mid-size company with 1 central domain (mycompany.com), 1 central domain controller running Windows 2003 (DC01), 1 file server running Windows 2000 (FILESRV01) and one database server running SQL Server 2000. The domain currently hosts 500 users. MyCompany has sold one of its development departments to another company. This other company will hire 100 ex-MyCompany employees.

Problem

Human Resources department has given you an Excel spreadsheet containing the employee details such as first name, last name and also username. MyCompany wants you to delete these user accounts from the MyCompany network so they do not gain access to sensitive data any more. Since all data has been migrated to the other company, all home directories and contents must be deleted.

Solution Guide

This case scenario offers the project needed to delete user accounts, all home directories based on the username match including any data and shares pointing to the home directory. This scenario is based on the fact that user accounts have a home directory according to their username, for example JSmith has a folder \\FILESRV01\Users\JSmith.
