Property used in Logged on Users reports

Question

In post Recently/Never logged on users reports - incorrect Logged#p4397 support states "To detect when a user last logged into the domain, we use the Last-Logon-Timestamp property of the user account."
Does this mean that the reports "Recently Logged On Users" and "Never Logged On Users" uses the Last-Logon-Timestamp property as the selection criteria? (These reports do not use Last Logon property)
Thank you,
Tim

Hello Tim,

Yes, the Recently Logged On Users and the Never Logged On Users reports use the Last-Logon-Timestamp property as the search criteria, and the Last Logon property isn't used.

The reason why we chose Last-Logon-Timestamp is that it is replicated across domain controllers, while Last Logon is not. So, in a scenario where a domain has multiple DCs, Adaxes would need to connect to each DC in the domain to build the report using the Last Logon property, which can take quite a long time. The Last-Logon-Timestamp property is replicated, so it will be up to date no matter which DC Adaxes is connected to.
