Domain User Function

Especially if you try to query the entire domain.

Domain user function. If the function succeeds you receive a handle to a token that represents the logged on user. Use this switch to display detailed information about the net user command. Each user can be given specific rights in the domain where each person can have access.

Otherwise this function returns a null string. Authenticated users can logon to any of the computers in the domain. This switch forces net user to execute on the current domain controller instead of the local computer.

You specify the user with a user name and domain and authenticate the user with a plaintext password. Increase the permissions of the domain user on the local pc by adding the user in question in the local machine s power users or administrators group. You will also see which domain controller reports the most current logon of the user.

Each domain controller is queried separately to calculate the last logon from all results of all dcs. Otherwise it is the local. The delete switch removes the specified username from the system.

Get aduserlastlogon gets the last logon timestamp of an active directory user. Username returns the username for the current user. If there are still computer accounts in the database which are no longer used it will take needless longer.

You cannot use logonuser to log on to a remote computer. Provide the user logon name samaccountname. This is by far the preferred method limited to the cases when it is absolutely necessary to do so as it only gives the minimum amount of permissions required to reach the goal.
