Disabling many AD user accounts on Windows Server 2003 without powershell

This may or may not help you but it's for my future reference.

My source was from dumping using MAP (Microsoft Assessment and Planning) toolkit using report "ActiveDevicesUsageTracker"

My AD wasn't using the default OU structure
Usable output = "Username" column = samID

Retrieve User-DN on Windows Server 2003
With the samID above, for each name

dsquery user -samid

Disable AD user accounts on Windows Server 2003
dsmod user user-DN -disabled yes

Not related but I needed to get the AD group membership of those disabled AD accounts for clean up purposes.

Retrieve by AD user object AD group membership:
dsget user "" -memberof -expand
