Question

Very simple question. How do i get this string:

$endDate = “01/14/2088”

Some code here to tranform the current form of date into numbers which AD can accept.

Into $accountExpire which can be inserted via:

The Format is like this “129955896000000000” A big ass number.

$newUser.put(“accountExpire”, $accountExpire)

REMEMBER! It’s Windows 2003r2 we are talking about.

Answer 1

Here is a way to solve it in PowerShell :

$endDate = "01/14/2088"
$dtEndDate = [datetime]::parse($endDate)
$ldtEndDate = $dtEndDate.ToFileTimeUtc()
$ldtEndDate
153693504000000000

You can download a tool called SlxWinDFI (sorry in french) that allow you to verify and to compute long date from calendar dans duration.
