I am going to be cleaning up old Ad computer accounts. What kind of symptoms would a user see if thier computer acccount has been disabled?

They won't be able to log in to the network from that computer.

When I disabled the computer and attempted the logon it was successful. I think they are loggin in on cached credentials, we allow 50 logons with cached credentials. Do I have to wait for all 50 of those grace logins to go by first?
