Is there a way to show a list of users and add a column for when their last login time was?

Or is there a way to get that info to show up in user properties?
 
Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://cn=Ken Myer, ou=Finance, dc=fabrikam, dc=com")
Set objLastLogon = objUser.Get("lastLogonTimestamp")

intLastLogonTime = objLastLogon.HighPart * (2^32) + objLastLogon.LowPart
intLastLogonTime = intLastLogonTime / (60 * 10000000)
intLastLogonTime = intLastLogonTime / 1440

Wscript.Echo "Last logon time: " & intLastLogonTime + #1/1/1601#

Thanks - I tried this and I get "The directory property cannot be found in the cache"

This error occurs on line 2:.
Set objLastLogon = objUser.Get("lastLogonTimestamp")

my objUser is correct I think, becuase at first i got an error "object does not exist" and when i fixed it, that error went away, but the one i listed above started.
 
Also - is there a way to get the last user who logged onto a specific computer?
 
I had the same error "directory property cannot be found in cache", but I discovered that this only happens on user objects where lastLogonTimestamp is <Not Set>, as evidenced in adsiedit.msc. I am able to get this code to work on accounts where lastLogognTimestamp contains a value.

I hope this helps.
 
I found this program that exports a csv file of all users and their last logon time.

Code:
' LastLogon.vbs
' VBScript program to determine when each user in the domain last logged
' on.

' Because the lastLogon attribute is not replicated, every Domain
' Controller in the domain must be queried to find the latest lastLogon
' date for each user. The lastest date found is kept in a dictionary
' object. The program first uses ADO to search the domain for all Domain
' Controllers. The AdsPath of each Domain Controller is saved in an
' array. Then, for each Domain Controller, ADO is used to search the
' copy of Active Directory on that Domain Controller for all user
' objects and return the lastLogon attribute. The lastLogon attribute is
' a 64-bit number representing the number of 100 nanosecond intervals
' since 12:00 am January 1, 1601. This value is converted to a date. The
' last logon date is in UTC (Coordinated Univeral Time). It must be
' adjusted by the Time Zone bias in the machine registry to convert to
' local time.
