Select the available fields in the following sequence, and click on the “Add” button for each entry: UserName SID PswdRequired PswdExpires PswdLastSetTime LastLogonTime AcctDisabled Groups If any enabled accounts have not been logged into within the past 35 days, then this is a finding. This can be ascertained by examining the time in the “LastLogonTime” column. The following accounts are exempt from this check: The built-in administrator account The built-in guest account Application accounts The “IUSR”-guest account (used with IIS or Peer Web Services) Accounts that are less than 35 days old Disabled accounts Note: The reviewer should review the list with the SA to determine the finding validity for each account reported. Note: The following command can be used on Windows 2003/2008 Active Directory if DumpSec cannot be run: Open a Command Prompt Enter “Dsquery user -limit 0 -inactive 5 -o rdn” (This command will only work if the domain is at least at a Windows Server 2003 functional level, not Windows 2000 Native). A list of user accounts that have been inactive for 5 weeks will be displayed. Disabled Accounts can be determined by using the following: Enter “Dsquery user -limit 0 -disabled -o rdn”.
