Hi:

Is there any policy to temporary disable or lock all
users account in the domain account except a few users
selected?

Thanks
 
Hi Austin,

There is no way to programatically lock an account, that can only be done by
typing the wrong password more times than your policy allows. You can
disable accounts from a script though. Here is a quick sample that can get
you started, edit this code and save with a .vbs extension, then you run it
from a command prompt with the command: cscript myscript.vbs

Any questions, let me (and the newsgroup) know.

'**'Script Start
Dim myOU
Dim Account

Set myOU=GetObject("LDAP://OU=MyOU,DC=myDomain,DC=com")

For Each Account In myOU
'Value -1 Disables accounts and 0 ecnables them again
myOU.accountdisabled=0
myOU.setinfo
next
'**Script End

Regards
