Hi Sandip
If you're on version 10 then there is the facilty in the server admin UI settings to set up a schedule to sync with the AD. This automatically sets any leavers to unlicensed on the server.

Dear Sandip,
It only works if we have AD Groups. I do have a VB Script which does the same, but in a chronological order. Do let me know if your organization has different groups for viewers / interactors, publishers and administrators. Will share you the same.

HI Donna,
Thanks for your time. I am aware of this feature but I trust this will not help as it only Add users whenever new user will be added in the group and inactive in this group.
But in my case, I have no AD group connected with Tableau that's why I am looking some batch programming or scripting by doing that I can achieve the same.

Hi Vamsi,
Thanks for taking out time for your response on my query. Yes I am looking for some batch scripting only. Please share your script.
Once again thanks.

That's a shame as if you could use AD Groups, it would probably make things a lot simpler (no issues with upgrades etc if Tableau changes things). We simply have all our users in one AD group called Tableau Reader which is what we sync, and ensure our internal starters & leavers process that creates the AD account, automatically adds users to this group too (actually our process already added users to a certain 'company' group, so we just made sure this group was then a member of the Tableau Reader group).

Sandip,
Guess I was clear. My script works with AD groups with absolute classification of roles. I guess, you might achieve this if you have at least one AD group created. Good luck mate. Do share it here if you could do that with scripting.
You deserve a "KUDOS"

My script works with AD groups- Please could you share your script to the post. I need to script the same type with AD.
Thank you
