I want to search Active Directory for inactive users that have no login for x days/months. I've got such a ldapsearch query:

ldapsearch -h domain.test -p 389 -D "cn=login,ou=test,dc=domain,dc=test" -w "passwd" -s sub -b "ou=Test,dc=domain,dc=test" "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2))"

It gives me the list of all inactive users in domain.test with all attributes.

I would like to add a filter for searching users that have no login for x days/months, and it would be great if the result was the list of sAMAccountNames (inactive user and lastLogonTimestamp >e.g. 3months). I'm aware that LastLogonTimestamp is not the real time of last user logon, but in this case it's not so important.

EDIT: now I only need to know if there is a way to show attribute like "lastLogonTimestamp" in the output of above ldapsearch query?

ANSWER: Attribute lastLogonTimestamp was not set for each object in the output of above ldapsearch query. I haven't noticed that. So grep displayed it:

ldapsearch -h domain.test -p 389 -D "cn=login,ou=test,dc=domain,dc=test" -w "passwd" -s sub -b "ou=Test,dc=domain,dc=test" "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(userAccountCont‌​rol:1.2.840.113556.1‌​.4.803:=2))" | grep -i lastlogontimestamp 

EDIT: To convert windows lastLogonTimestamp to date I've used:

while read -r line;
    do
    let "ts = ($line / 10000000) - 11644473600" && echo $ts >> linux_timestamp;
    date -d @$ts +'%Y%m%d' >> linux_date;
    done < users_lastlogontimestamp

Any advice very appreciated.

You just need to modify your filter to add another condition, so that ldap server returns only entries with lastLogonTimestamp>=timestamp. To retrieve only specific attributes instead of the whole entry, specify the attributes to be returned by the server.

For example:-

ldapsearch -h domain.test -p 389 -D "cn=login,ou=test,dc=domain,dc=test" -w "passwd" -s sub -b "ou=Test,dc=domain,dc=test" "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)(lastlogontimestamp>=131550784796762354))" samAccountName lastlogontimestamp

  • Hi, thanks, but the problem is that lastLogonTimestamp values are not comparable, thus I cannot use lastLogonTimestamp<=timestamp_value to get list of users that lastlogon was eg. before 01/06/2017. I need to convert lastLogonTimestamp to date, then use it in ldapsearch query filter.

  • Quick search lists many examples: stackoverflow.com/questions/13091719/… , Convert your date the lastlogontimestamp and use ldapsearch with the value.

  • That's right, but what I need is conversion form windows lastLogonTimestamp to date in linux (bash script). I would like to have all operations in one place (without using PowerShell as an additional tool for example).

  • per AD docs, the lastlogintimestamp is the time in ns since 1601 and it can be easily converted, there are many examples available online. for eg: meinit.nl/…

Thank you for the answer Najmuddin.

I though that it will be ok to compare lastlogontimestamps - it isn't because lastlogontimestamp values are not comparable. The only was is to convert to date format first, and then compare to get users that lastlogon was eg. before 01/06/2017. And here's the question: how to convert windows lastlogontimestamp to date in bash?

Please let me know if it's the correct way to do it.
