When was an Active Directory Object created on a Domain Controller?
I wanted to find out what date an Active Directory object was created on / replicated to a Domain Controller.
Actually, you can find that information in the meta-data of the Active Directory Object!
Index
Access the Meta-Data of an AD object
You can access it with the tool “repadmin” as described by Jens in the article about
Tracking changes of Active Directory objects
Look at the change date of the attribute “cn” of the AD object. It shows the date the Active Directory Object was created on which Domain Controller.
Exception: The attribute “cn” was changed afterwards.
The following Powershell script does the work all by itself.
