Vista - get inactive computers

Why doesnt this work when i get multiple answeres? When i get only one
object it works i.e if i specify a computer name instead of jag-*.

(get-qadcomputer -service un.dr -dudip -ip ('lastlogon') jag-
*).lastlogon

if i do:
get-qadcomputer -service un.dr jag-* |%{ (get-qadcomputer
$_).lastlogon }

it works but is REALLY slow.

Im trying to make a script telling me which computers hasnt been used
in a couple of months and to deactivate them.

Any tip anyone?

Need to read up on select. Thanks alot!

Hi Gobba,

This can return multiple computer objects and PowerShell can't decide which
object's 'lastlogon' to display. It is good for one object only.


Take this for example:

PS 33> dir *.txt

Mode LastWriteTime Length Name
---- ------------- ------ ----
-a--- 15/05/2008 17:13:04 141.7 KB text1.txt
-a--- 06/03/2008 14:20:56 252.3 KB text2.txt
-a--- 12/03/2008 14:51:05 56.0 B text3.txt


PS 34> (dir *.txt).name

Which text file name should PowerShell return?



Try this instead:

get-qadcomputer -service un.dr jag-* -ip lastlogon | select name, lastlogon

If the environment is 2k3+ I would use LastLogonTimeStamp its replicated and
this is precisely what it was designed for.
