Interesting.

Does Samba4 or related utility have the fix?

I was a bit surprised to learn about the [System.DateTime]::FromFileTime() function in Powershell. I did a lot of research into this previously and didn't see that.

No. Why should there be a fix?

LastLogon is a valid timestamp, just in a very braindead format (in 100-s nanosecond increments since 1601).

There should be a fix because people need to use that information, not dig around on the Internet, figure out how braindead the timestamp is, and come up with a scheme to read it in human-readable form. Quest Software fixed it by providing a conversion method.

I was asking about fixing *accessibility to the information.* Which is far more important to me than what shell handles what arguments, and how the pipelines work.
