| | Computer Last Password Change Hi I have been asked is there a way of working out the date and time a computer account has been active on a domain. Basically we have a lot of hardware that is being upgraded and our support staff do not always remove old accounts from AD. From what I have been told, Computer Accounts have to authenticate themselves with AD within a certain period and a password is changed at this stage. How can I query this? Regards D |

| | Re: Computer Last Password Change Try oldcomp from joeware.net (http://www.joeware.net/freetools/tools/oldcmp/index.htm). Alternatively, you can also use dsquery computer command (with -stalepwd switch)... hth Marcin "TheNugget2007" <Private_Address2007@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:OMRAp2buJHA.4068@xxxxxx Quote: > Hi > > I have been asked is there a way of working out the date and time a > computer account has been active on a domain. > > Basically we have a lot of hardware that is being upgraded and our support > staff do not always remove old accounts from AD. > > From what I have been told, Computer Accounts have to authenticate > themselves with AD within a certain period and a password is changed at > this stage. > > How can I query this? > > Regards > > D |

| | Re: Computer Last Password Change Joe Richards' oldcmp utility is the best tool. If you want a scripting solution I have an example VBScript program that documents the date/time when all users last changed their password linked here: http://www.rlmueller.net/PwdLastChanged.htm The program has the changes required to document computers rather than users commented in the code. -- Richard Mueller MVP Directory Services Hilltop Lab - http://www.rlmueller.net -- "Marcin" <marcin@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:uKAJI3cuJHA.5172@xxxxxx Quote: > Try oldcomp from joeware.net > (http://www.joeware.net/freetools/tools/oldcmp/index.htm).
