WINDOWS. PS. Objects changed/created control by date

If you need or you want know when one user is created or modified at AD this post is for you:

We need one variable date (xuserdate) to found the created/modify user data info.

[ ] Example 1: 

$xuserdate = [datetime] "2/22/2017"
Get-ADObject -Filter ‘whenchanged -gt $xuserdate’ | Group-Object objectclass

In this example show all AD object.

To check $xuserdate

[ ] Example 2:

Get-ADUser -Identity pedro.Hernandez -Properties *

$xuserdate = [datetime] "2/22/2017"
Get-ADObject -Filter ‘whenchanged -gt $xuserdate’ | Group-Object objectclass

 

$xuserdate = [datetime] "2/22/2017"
Get-ADObject -Filter ‘whencreated -gt $xuserdate’| where{$_.DisplayName -like '*'} | Select Name, DistinguishedName

Get-ADObject -Filter ‘whencreated -gt $xuserdate’|  Select Name, DistinguishedName

Get-ADObject -Filter ‘whencreated -gt $xuserdate’|  Select Name, DistinguishedName
