There are a couple of ways you can get it. If you are a command line
hacker, you could use this:
dnscmd . /enumrecords rallencorp.com foobar /detail | findstr
dwTimeStamp
If you are looking to do it via VBScript or Perl, then you'll want to look
at the MicrosoftDNS_ResourceRecord WMI class. It has a Timestamp property:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dns/dns/mic
rosoftdns_resourcerecord.asp
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dns/dns/mi
crosoftdns_resourcerecord.asp>
BTW, in what situation does password change date not work if you use a
sufficiently long expiration period?
