JSI Tip 7368. When was UserName, or all users, created and modified?


using DSQUERY, I have scripted When.bat to report when a user was created and modified, or to report the creation and modification of all users.

The syntax for using When.bat is:

When UserName

where UserName is the sAMAccountName of a user, or * for all users.

NOTE: If UserName is *, a When.txt report file is created in the current folder.

NOTE: UserName can contain leading, trailing, and embedded wildcard characters (*).

When.bat contains:

@echo off
if \{%1\}==\{\} @echo Syntax: When  UserName&goto :EOF
setlocal
set usr=%1
set usr=%usr:"=%
if "%usr%" EQU "*" goto multiple
dsquery * domainroot -filter "(&(objectCategory=Person)(objectClass=User)(sAMAccountName=%usr%))" -attr sAMAccountName distinguishedName whenCreated whenChanged -limit 999999
endlocal
goto :EOF
:multiple
if exist when.txt del /q when.txt
if exist %temp%\when.tm1 del /q %temp%\when.tm1
set title=N
set dsq=dsquery * domainroot -filter "(&(objectCategory=Person)(objectClass=User)(sAMAccountName=%usr%))" -attr sAMAccountName distinguishedName whenCreated whenChanged -limit 999999
for /f "Tokens=*" %%u in ('%dsq%') do set line=%%u&call :out
sort %temp%\when.tm1 /o %temp%\when.tm2
@echo %title%>when.txt
for /f "Tokens=*" %%u in ('type %temp%\when.tm2') do set line=%%u&call :report
if exist %temp%\when.tm1 del /q %temp%\when.tm1
if exist %temp%\when.tm2 del /q %temp%\when.tm2
endlocal
goto :EOF
:out
if "%title%" EQU "N" set title=%line%&goto :EOF
@echo %line%>>%temp%\when.tm1
goto :EOF
:report
@echo %line%>>when.txt
