Summary

The Active Directory stores date/time values as the number of 100-nanosecond intervals that have elapsed since the 0 hour on January 1, 1601 until the date/time that is being stored. The time is always stored in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) in the Active Directory. Some examples of Active Directory attributes that store date/time values are LastLogonLastLogonTimestamp, and LastPwdSet. In order to obtain the date/time value stored in these attributes into a standard format, some conversion is required. This article describes how this conversion can be done.

 

Procedure

  1. Obtain the value of the Active Directory attribute that you want to convert. There are many ways to extract values of Active Directory attributes. Using ADSI Edit is one method.
  2. Open the Command Prompt.
  3. Type the following command:
    w32tm.exe /ntte [time in Windows NT time format]
  4. The date/time value is converted to local time and displayed.

Example

C:\>w32tm.exe /ntte 155520000000000  –> 180 00:00:00.0000000 – 30/06/1601 02:00:00  –>  formato  gg  HH:MM:SS:oooooo
