Related Question: SQL Server script to delete accounts no longer in Active Directory

Whilst the above question points out the rather handy sp_validatelogins procedure, i'd like to extend this procedure to then drop the logins, search all databases & drop any related users.

Id also like to drop all SQL logins that have not been logged in for over X months - and again, drop any related users across all databases.

Before I go writing all this from scratch - I cant help but feel I'd be re-inventing the wheel - someone must surly have written a script to do this already but i'm not having much luck finding one!

If no one has a script up their sleeve to do all this, scripts to do parts of them would be just as good - I've no problem merging them into a single script.

I don't have a full script for the task. But maybe this script could be a start.

It returns a list of logins that don't have permissions granted. Using sp_msforeachdb it searches on all databases using sys.database_principals and sys.database_role_members. You could insert the result in a temp table and then do whatever you need to do with that list.

I'm sure I found this script some time ago somewhere and made some small modifications to fit my needs. But can't find where I found the original one. So sorry if no link provided to the author(s).
