Question : Simple Powershell script to search all users in the domain for creation date

Simple Powershell script to search all users in the domain for creation date. If you are supper cool, also need to know how to disable an account if it has not been used, or is to old, say 90 days. I found some online, but they are super complicated, and I am looking for something a little simpler. Is there a simple answer in PSv1?

Answer : Simple Powershell script to search all users in the domain for creation date

Then you'd be better calling it with the -psconsolefile setting.

e.g.

PowerShell.exe -psconsolefile "%ProgramFiles%\Quest Software\Management Shell for AD\ConsoleSettings.psc1"

See what I mean?

The startup script is session specific so doesn't really lend itself easily to run as a scheduled task.

If you prefer to move to something without the extra cmdlets we can change the above to native functions.
