| Manage temp accounts with account expiration |
| After creating an account for a temporary employee, do you always delete the account when the |
| worker leaves? Or do you find that handling the comings and goings of so many temporary |
| employees can be a bit overwhelming? |
| Windows 2000's account expiration feature can help you maintain this situation by allowing you to |
| define the date you want an account to expire. Even if you rehire the temp worker, you can easily |
| re-enable the account and specify a new expiration date. |
| Follow these steps on a Windows 2000 domain controller to set an account's expiration date: |
| Open the Active Directory Users And Computers console. |
| Double-click an account you want to expire after a certain period of time. |
| Note the Account Expires section. Select the End Of dialog box and then specify the date that you |
| want the account to expire. |
| This automatically disables the account on the specified date, so the account won't exist long after |
