Account lockout - inactivity

The PHB wants me to lock user accounts after 90 days of inactivity.

Seems like it should be do-able, but I'm not having much luck with
google this morning, can some point me in the right direction?

Much appreciated.

You really want to disable old accounts rather than lock out. You can use
Joe Richards' free oldcmp utility for this:

http://www.joeware.net/freetools/tools/oldcmp/index.htm

Yes, it was originally written for computer accounts, but it works equally
well with user accounts. Check the usage notes. There is a -users switch and
a -disable switch. You can also delete the stale accounts. The tool will
report on what it would do before you run it for real.
