I don’t know it this helps, but I’m using Search-ADAccount with the
–AccountInactive parameter piped to Disable-ADAccount:



Search-ADAccount -AccountInactive -TimeSpan 90.00:00:00 -UsersOnly
-SearchBase "ou=BlahBlah,dc=somedomain,dc=net" -SearchScope OneLevel  |
disable-adaccount



In my case this is not very dangerous because the OU it’s run against only
contains alternate accounts we’ve given people to use on PCI-compliant
computers. I’m not sure what criteria the –AccountInactive parameter uses,
though you would thing lastlogon or lastlogontimestamp. In any case, you
could run that command against the user(s) in question to see what you get.

So, you’re saying that logging into OWA will not update either of the Last
Logon attributes?  Makes sense with what I’m seeing.  However, it makes it
difficult to track if a user account is still valid.  Any other methods of
seeing if the user is valid, aside from reaching out to the supervisor?

OWA or any web logon is not the same as an interactive logon.

Our organization uses a customized Office 365 installation, due to working
for the State of California.  My question is how logging into OWA affects
the Last Logon/Last Logon Timestamp attribute.  I have users who are
showing up on my Inactive Users report, and I want to make sure that I
don’t disable an account that really is being used.  One particular user
has a Last Logon Timestamp of 8/6/2014, but his account was just renewed
for another year in August of this year.  So, is it possible that this user
only accesses OWA for e-mail, and never logs into a domain computer?  I’ve
been finding conflicting info on the internet.



Thanks,
