See Warren's link above (http://blogs.technet.com/askds/archive/2009/04/15/the-lastlogontimestamp-attribute-what-it-was-designed-for-and-how-it-works.aspx) - it talks about the functional levels and how the lastlogontimestamp attribute does't turn on until domain functional level 2003. What's your DFL?

Was playing with that find-old-computer-accounts sample.

Was looking at the cmdlet help and under AccountInactive it says something about it will only work in Server 2003 Domain Functional Level. Is it AccountInactive that only works in the level, or is it the DateTime that only works in that domain level :) ?

I tried the sample you posted in this blog. But for some reason computers with LastLogonDate at 2010-01-19 was listed as well. What did I miss?

Helps with performance on DC's? Not that I have ever seen. I'd imagine it would mainly be helpful on file server workloads - so unless your DC does extra duty there, doubtful.

Stay warm Mike!

Are there any internal numbers that show that the disk defrag helps with performance?

For old computers I still like Joe Richards old computer tool. Joe has a lot of built in safety valves and we always disable first before deleting just in case there are cases like you mentioned (have run into the cluster issue)

The activedir.org mailing list is another great place for DS questions.

Be glad you all are a few hundred miles south of DC in Charlotte. The blizzard of 2010 really sucks

Thanks

Mike
