Question : Problem: how to find out inactive machines in a WIN2003 domain using WMI query from SMS

I need to delete inactive clients in my collection in SMS 2003. I am trying to find out a querty which will use WMI to find the inactive list in the domain and i do not have more rights in AD. i tried the last hardware scan option but it is not giving the correct list. My question: Can i use a WMI query or a VB script to just find out inactive machines in my OU and use that query in SMS to find that list?
