PowerShell – List All Domain Users and Their Last Logon Time

KB ID 0000752

Problem

In the past I’ve looked at third party tools to do this but what if you wanted to use PowerShell?

Solution

1. On your server paste the following script into Notepad;

$NumDays = 0
 $LogDir = ".Users-Last-Logon.csv"

$currentDate = [System.DateTime]::Now
 $currentDateUtc = $currentDate.ToUniversalTime()
 $lltstamplimit = $currentDateUtc.AddDays(- $NumDays)
 $lltIntLimit = $lltstampLimit.ToFileTime()
 $adobjroot = [adsi]''
 $objstalesearcher = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher($adobjroot)
 $objstalesearcher.filter = "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(lastLogonTimeStamp<=" + $lltIntLimit + "))"

$users = $objstalesearcher.findall() | select `
 @{e={$_.properties.cn};n='Display Name'},`
 @{e={$_.properties.samaccountname};n='Username'},`
 @{e={[datetime]::FromFileTimeUtc([int64]$_.properties.lastlogontimestamp[0])};n='Last Logon'},`
 @{e={[string]$adspath=$_.properties.adspath;$account=[ADSI]$adspath;$account.psbase.invokeget('AccountDisabled')};n='Account Is Disabled'}

$users | Export-CSV -NoType $LogDir

File > Save As > Save the file as Users-Last-Logon.ps1 > Change the file type to ‘All Files’ >Save it in C:WindowsSystem32.

2. Open PowerShell, and execute the following commands;

cd c:WindowsSystem32
 ./Users-Last-Logon.ps1

3. Navigate to c:WindowsSystem32 and locate the Users-Last-Logon.csv file.

4. Open the file in Excel, and you can sort the ‘Last Logon’ column, to get the users in the correct order.

I read your article “PowerShell – List All Domain Users and Their Last Logon Time” and it helped me out a lot. Thank your very much for this.

May i suggest to add a filter option on the script, in order to get more results. Currently the script limits the result to 1000. In my Environment there are more users than that.

I added $objstalesearcher.PageSize=4000 to the script, and i got all the users from my bomain.

Again, thank you very much for the script you provided. saved me tons of time !
