Denying logon to users - Auttomated and error-free ways

-

i have several ad accounts "generic" names (insted "mark", "david" or "anna" using "librarian", "consultant", "engineer" , on)

the accounts must exist no logon rights, no local logon, no vpn, existing user, "placeholder"

the procedure have error-free such possible

approach #1:

all "generic" users belonging global group , using gpo, global group wil have "deny logon locally" privilege. approach have disavantage of being subject errors, if reason, "generic" user has been (accidentaly) removed form group

there other approaches?

using "logon hours" ad attribute, effectivelly denying logon hours? (it´s hard automate in scripts, think)

using "log on to"  ad attribute, far know effective if client machine using netbios logon, so, maybe not best option

any other idea?

goal here configure google synch ad , i´m researching if "contact" ad object used

hi,

i agree gpo first option try out, note: test in lab or poc env.

or can use tool admodify set attributes desire.
