pop3 and MS Exchange 2007

Looked here to see how to test via telnet
file:///c:/leddymj/research/exchange2007/testing-pop3-access-using-telnet.html

Got error
"Command is not valid in this state" after supplying credentials.
found answer here:

need to use exchange shell command
Set-PopSettings -LoginType PlainTextLogin
then restart the service.

I used
Get-PopSettings -LoginType PlainTextLogin | fl > before.txt
and
Get-PopSettings -LoginType PlainTextLogin | fl > after.txt

when did a Active Directory User Last Logon

first let me say I think Novel Netware user login, I think Windows users Logon.

With several DCs it used to be a bear to get the real last logon, as you would have to check the lastlogon timestamp on each DC, with Windows 2003 Native mode this has been changed.

Details:


lastLogon – old style not replicated to other DCs
lastLogonTimestamp – replicated for each user if the user’s lastlogonTimestamp is older then 14 days ( This is the one to go by for the report. )

I included a hist01.txt which has the command line used to generate the report. The adfind tool is a command line utility, already on corpadmints1.
Also found at http://www.joeware.net/freetools/tools/adfind/.

adfind -b "base dn"
-f filter - all user objects except disabled accounts
-csv csv export
-tdc time date change - changed ldap time date into readable format
then attributes DisplayName samaccountname lastLogon lastLogonTimestamp
