C# (CSharp, C-Sharp) Windows Active Directory last logon

Hi guys

Please note, many threads were referred in order to compile the script attached below & all I did was re-arranging in order for better reading/formatting

(And I insure that the script works under following scenarios:

  1. You are a domain administrator
  2. You are administrating Windows 2003 onwards Windows domain
  3. Your puter is connected to the domain network ;)

)

Referenced websites/threads

  1. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15775264/searching-for-lastlogon-attribute-of-user-in-multiple-domain-servers
  2. https://www.codeproject.com/kb/security/lastlogonacrossallwindows.aspx#_comments
  3. http://codebeautify.org/csharpviewer (for formatting the C# code)

How to test the code

Start Visual Studio (I am using 2013 Professional edition, you can use any of the community editions to test the scripts)

Create a new C# Console Application and name it llogon (else you need to change the namespace name “llogon” according to the name you have chosen for your new project.

Add the following references to your project

  1. “Framework -> System.DirectoryServices”
  2. “Browse and add -> C:\Windows\System32\activeds.tlb”

Try the code & if you are stuck somewhere, do let me through the comments. I am working on a WPF C# project for a simple Active Directory Reporter / Asset Management System using WMI. Stay tuned & I will soon post the entire solution here :)
