I need to create a script (vbscript) to list all local users creation date due to an audit request... The target server is not part of a domain so LDAP queries doesn't apply here...
I'm stuck in the following code:
strComputer = "."
Set colItems = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "")
colItems.Filter = Array("user")
For Each usr in colItems
strUser = usr.Name
<HERE I SHOULD APPEND THE CREATION DATE>
Wscript.Echo strUser
Next
I reviewed the WMI documentation and I couldn't find a "WhenCreated" property in the User object.
Please, help me to find a way to list a local user and its creation date...

I am in aggreement with Krystian. To expand on what she said, the creation date is not kept at all. The closest you can come is checking the creation date of the users profile directory, what Krystian was referring to as the home drive.
But that only gives the time the profile was created (potentially first logon) but not the account creation time.

Hi There
There is no attribute for the Winnt provider to check this. The only way i can think of is by the home drive creation date. but thats only any use if one was created.
with AD users you can find this out, but not for local users that i'm aware of.
Sorry can't be of more use
