Script to see which users have logged in since x ?

Something like this:

[string] $ConfigurationFilePath = "D:\Applications\PRTG\PRTG Configuration.dat"
   [xml] $configuration = New-Object -TypeName XML;
         $configuration.Load($ConfigurationFilePath)

$prtgUsers = ($configuration.SelectNodes("//nodes/user"))
$prtgBaseDate = [datetime]::parseexact("30.12.1899 00:00:00", 'dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm:ss',[CultureInfo]::InvariantCulture)

$logins = @()


foreach($prtgUser in $prtgUsers){
    
   $lastLogin = $null
   
   try   { [datetime]$lastLogin = $prtgBaseDate.AddDays($prtgUser.data.lastlogin.Trim()) }
   # if we fail to parse the date (because the user has not logged on yet), set it to the PRTG base date
   catch { [datetime]$lastLogin = $prtgBaseDate }

   $logins += [pscustomobject] @{

        ID   = $prtgUser.id
        User = $prtgUser.data.login.InnerText.Trim()
        "Last Login" = $lastLogin
   }
}

$logins | Out-GridView -Title "PRTG Logins"

Modify the path of your configuration file accordingly :) If the account has 1899 as it's last login, he hasn't logged in yet. Should look like this:

Hi Sam,

I beg your pardon, I've updated the script with a little bit of try/catch - should work as intended now :)

Hi Stephan,

Thanks for your ever speedy replies, ISE is still taking issue with the system.datetime and logins = @()
