I always thought UTC in relation to computing was the number of non-leap seconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00 January 1, 1970. I find the choice of Jan 01, 1601 to be a little bizarre in this context. Was this a typo? Or is that how UTC is now measured in AD?
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 6:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Antwort: [ActiveDir] Pwdlastset attribute Tasneem, the format of a UTC time is described in http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sysinfo/ti me_0fzm.asp It is the number of 100-nanosecond intervals since January 1, 1601. With the Win32-API-Function 'FileTimeToSystemTime' it can be converted to a readable format. This is a C++ example: FILETIME ftRawvalue; SYSTEMTIME stGMT, stLocal; // Convert the raw time value to GMT Zone FileTimeToSystemTime(&ftRawvalue, &stGMT); // Convert the time from GMT zone to your local time zone SystemTimeToTzSpecificLocalTime(NULL, &stGMT, &stLocal); // Build a string showing the date and time. wsprintf(lpszString, "%02d/%02d/%d %02d:%02d", stLocal.wDay, stLocal.wMonth, stLocal.wYear, stLocal.wHour, stLocal.wMinute); There should be a similar VB example, but I'm not a VB expert.
