Last Logon vs OWA

Recently I audited our AD, and found a list of users who did not have a last logon on each of our DCs in the last 30 days.

support tells me I accidentally disabled about 5 users. If a user logs into OWA, this should generate a last logon on one of the DCs correct? If a user has been offsite for longer than 30days, how can I check if the user has accessed mail via outlook on their laptop?

Configure Outlook for Windows

Open Outlook.
At the Welcome screen, click Next.
When asked if you want to set up Outlook to connect to an email account, select Yes and then click Next.
The Auto Account Setup wizard opens. Enter your name, your email address using your sunetid@stanford.edu, and your SUNet ID password. Then, click Next
Outlook will complete the setup for your account, which might take several minutes. When you are notified that your account was successfully configured, click Finish.
You may need to restart Outlook for the changes to take effect.

Change offline access setting:

You can use Outlook on your laptop or desktop computer when you’re not connected to the Internet. Email, calendar, and other items are kept in an Outlook data file on your computer so you can work offline. You can set the duration of this setting to 1, 3, 6, 12, or 24 months, or All.

In Outlook, click the File menu.
Click Account Settings > Account Settings.
In the Account Settings dialog box, with the E-mail tab selected, click Change.
In the Offline Settings section, move the slider to select how long you want to keep mail on your computer for offline access. You can choose 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 months or All. Then click Next.
Click Finish.

How exactly did you "audit" your AD?
The last logon time is not replicated to all DCs, so maybe you simply asked the wrong DC.
It works, OWA is logged.

I forgot to mention that you need to change the number of days in the last line. Right now it's only showing the logons of the current day.
