You're
right, it doesn't propogate. Should have clarified
that.
Hi Mark
I believe the Last Login Date does not propagate
between DC's. If you check out the Last login Date on all DC's you will get
the correct answer.
Alternatively, assuming you expire passwords on
all accounts, you can check the age of passwords to get an approximate
value.

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] getting a user
login count
How about last login for the account? If it's older than a
particular date, it's probably not being used...
I
need to true up my licenses for a product we use that is based on the
number of users who regularly log in. IOW, if the account exists in AD to
store HR info or whatever, but isn’t actively used by anyone, it doesn’t
get counted. Can someone think of a good way to arrive at a number that
would be close to accurate? We’re at Win2K, so I don’t think I can use
dsquery user –inactive to find the inactive users that I could subtract
from the total. But should I just query each DC for login records and
consolidate the data? Or is there a better way?
Also,
is there a way to query how many are logged on *right now*?
