How to determine inactive users?

Postby easysoft » Thu Sep 09, 2010 9:31 am

Hi All,

I'm trying to determine inactive users on our Scalix 11.4.3 server. We would like to automatically delete users who haven't used the system for 6 months.
I guess the easiest way would be to check last login times - whether that be via webmail or IMAP/POP/MAPI.

Is there some way to obtain this info? I can't find anything suitable in omshowu or the Scalix Admin Manual ...

Many thanks in advance for any help,
Regards
Arif

The omshowu output has a "Last Signon" line.
Its worth to mention that also omtidyu is logging on to a mailbox.

Thanks for your quick response!
Ah, I see. I was using -m all and generating a full list of all users. In that output, I couldn't get anything about last sign on.
Doing it per-user thus :
omshowu -n <username>
does indeed give the last sign on time.

Many thanks for your help!
Regards
Arif

Hi, a follow-up question if I may.

I'm using omcpoutu in my backup script to create backup dumps.
This seems to be setting the Last Signon value for the user to the time of the dump, and hence I can't use that value to determine inactive users.
I tried using sxmboxexp but that resets the Last Signon aswell.
Any ideas? TIA

Arif
