LastPasswordSet date has not the right time in certain case

[skidrow88]

I noticed on certain operating systems, when the output format date is '%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S %p', there is a time difference about 2 hours between the lastPasswordSet and the whenCreated field.

However, this information is wrong because the user has never changed his password. Both values should be the same.

We check on our Active Directory and the LastPasswordSet value is 6/14/2016 1:25:44 PM.

It could be problematic when we want to detect users have not changed their initial password by comparing lastPasswordSet and whenCreated.

Thanks in advance

Are you in GMT+2 Timezone by any chance ?

[skidrow88]

Yes, the Active Directory is located in Budapest, now GMT +1:00 but in June it's GMT +02:00

That could be the issue ... the tool doesn't do any Timezone modifications by itself ... still I'll go through the code to see if there is any solution.

It seems you use the Convert.ToDateTime for PasswordLastSet but not for whenCreated attribute.

PasswordLastSet = Convert.ToDateTime(AdComputer.Members["PasswordLastSet"].Value);

Thank you
