Real Last Logon Report on Windows Users

Many a time, Active Directory administrators find it difficult to decipher the exact true last logon time of users. As in most cases, multiple domain controllers are present in a domain, each of them would be holding a different last logon value. With each Domain controller showing up different logon details for the same user account, the identification process becomes even complicated. Native AD tools, PowerShell, etc. only add to the already huge list of complexities. Since synchronization of login data does not essentially happen between the domain controllers, it becomes quite tedious to retrieve the users' correct last logon values from the DC, which recently authenticated the Users' latest logon. This is exactly when, the Real Last Logon Report from ADManager Plus comes in handy. Using ADManager Plus you can,

• Generate Real Last Logon Report
• Customize Attributes display in the Report
• Manage from Real Last Logon Report
• Generate Real Last Logon Report & CleanUp AD
