How to determine inactive users?

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!

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
