Calculate Password Age for Windows Servers using C#

Asked by Admin_Chevron in C# Programming Language, Windows 2003 Server

Tags: C#, Windows 2000/2003/2008 Server, NetUserGetInfo, Password Age

Hi,

I need to write a tool in C# that can query multiple servers for their local account details and then output these details into a CSV file which is automatically emailed to the local administrators. The main aim of the tool is to query the password age of each local account, i.e. when was the password last reset.

I have found some small tools that can do it for me, and with some batch work I can get it to query all the servers and return a csv file etc. However, it is half manual half automated. I would like to automate the entire process and to also add some additional funcationality.

I have found some VB6 code, but am looking for any C# code or suggestions on how to do this.

Some of the tools I looked at are:
netpwage and
UserDump

Also have a look at: http://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?code/network/getpasswordage.htm

Any suggestions?
