I think this functionality should come out the box! It’s a great bit of functionality, very useful

In reply to Shannon. These warnings aren't anything to worry about, the code here is 95% based on the out-of-box ServiceNow installation exits so they're the ones responsible for the warnings :). I opted to keep it as similar as possible to the out-of-box code for consistency. It should run just fine though.

When I tried to paste the code in, I got syntax errors. I don’t know enough about coding to debug though.

In reply to Mark Sandner. Glad to hear it works for you Mark. I'm not sure why you're getting that error either. I don't see it in my testing on the ServiceNow demo instance so it must just be some quirk with copy/paste or the syntax editor.

Excellent, I was just about to scroll through the list of user and de-activate them. I used the Installation exit script, which works fine, but the syntax checker tells me “WARNING at line 60: Missing semicolon.” Not sure why it asks me to put one there, but it doens’t seem to stop the script from working. Cheers…Mark
