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?

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.

Rainer.

Thema:    [ActiveDir] Pwdlastset attribute

Pwdlastset is an attribute in Active directory which stores the value in
UTC (universal Coordinated Time) format.
       Value example:  126550226842430343
       Data type for the attribute is an integer.

       How do I convert this value to local time?

       Thanks.
