Finding active computers

[Guest]

Is there a way to have Hyena return a list of all active computers on a network?

Re: Finding active computers

You can right-click on the Computers object and choose Query Active Directory->Computer(Detailed). In the right-hand window the field to look at is Pwd Last Set.

When computers are online they will periodically reset their computer account password with the domain controller. This should give you a fairly good idea of which are still active and which aren't.

FYI: If you have a domain, Pwd Last Set is not replicated between domain controllers. M$ did add a new field called "Last Logon Time Stamp" and this is replicated in active directory.
