Your VBScript contains an illegal LDAP reference, probably a typing mistake, maybe an extra letter. Check the spelling of your objects in the script.
What does the error message say is the source?

Source is Active Directory. However it doesn't error when i run it on other user account's. Just this one particular account.
ASKER
looks like it errors on line 82 when its trying to get the last login in time stamp. If I comment that out it runs fine but I need that information.
ASKER
Okay so I found this which makes since. https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/23906325/the-last-logon-timestamp-for-a-user.html
However, would someone be able to help me figure out a way to update this script so that if it gets that error on that line that it will not error out that it will simply put User has Never Logged In?

Then you would need to include some error handling.
You would need to include something like this.......

Throw this line on the top of your code:
On Error Resume Next
Then right under your line 82:
'=====The user never logged on so timestamp does not exist========
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
WScript.Echo "User has never logged in"
' It doesn't exist so you are skipping that portion of code and making the default values NULL or blank
intLastLogonTime = ""
dtmLastLogon = ""
Err.Clear
'=====The user logged on, so timestamp exists =======
Else
'Format Last Logon Time Stamp
Set objLastLogon = objUser.Get("lastLogonTimestamp")
intLastLogonTime = objLastLogon.HighPart * (2 ^ 32) + objLastLogon.LowPart
intLastLogonTime = intLastLogonTime / (60 * 10000000)
intLastLogonTime = intLastLogonTime / 1440
dtmLastLogon = intLastLogonTime + # 1 / 1 / 1601 #
End If
' The rest of your code (lines 87 and up)
ASKER
Thats good, but I'd like to have it write in the output file on the line for last logon if it doesnt exist then have it say User has never logged on.

Sounds like a typo in ldap reference, or the ldap changed names
