Deleting User Accounts

Occasionally, user accounts must be deleted, most commonly when a user no longer worksfor an organization. It is important to delete an inactive user account as soon as possible.For example, company policy might dictate that user accounts are to be disabled startingthe day a user leaves the company. After 45 days if the user has not returned to the com-pany, the user account is deleted to prevent its misuse. Exercise 1.17 outlines the process todelete a user using Active Directory Users and Computers.
