Inactive user in directory server

Question

Hi,
According to the deployment guide, to inactivate a user in DS 5.0, the nsAccountLock attribute should be made "true".
However, i couldn't find any attribute setting to inactivate a user in NDS 4.12. Any idea?
Thanks!

Hi Vrijesh,
I'd suggest you to mark this thread as answered since the initial question is answered and open a new one with your concern above. There could be many ways to do that. Moreover, when you say that many users do not have Project Pro, this means that some one
them have. Thus it could be confusing to have 2 ways. I'd rather suggest to put in place a process saying that you give access to an assistant to Project Pro and he'll be in charge to inactivate appropriate tasks. Doing this, no additional custom fields, no
formula.
That being said, you can create a new flag "inactive task". Then you have to know how you want to calculate the new %complete. Then create a new task field for the actual work with the formula below, setting the calculation for summary rows to
sum:
IIf([flag1]=Yes;0;8*[Actual Work]/[Minutes Per Day])
This new actual work field will equals to the actual work just if the task is not flagged. Then just create another field to calculated the new %complete.
WARNING: the out of the box fields (remaining, EV) will still be based on the out of the box fields such it might cause confusion. Moreover, it won't prevent resources to update tasks from the timesheet. Thus
I strongly advice to choose a more oriented process solution, as I mentionned above.
Hope this helps,
