Description Arvid Requate

2021-12-08 19:12:09 CET

The GUI tool "Active Directory Users and Computers" (ADUC) doesn't show the actual value of the Active Directory attribute "accountExires", but rather it shows the last day, when the account is still usable.

Example: If I select "today" (2021-12-08) in ADUC then it interprets this as end of day localtime and writes:

  accountExpires: 132834780000000000

which is

  GMT: Wed, 08 Dec 2021 23:00:00 GMT
  Your time zone: Thu Dec 09 2021 00:00:00 GMT+0100 (Central European Standard Time)
  

UMC/UDM behave differently and show the day that the account actually is exired. In my example UMC shows "09.12.2021" and UDM shows userexpiry: 2021-12-09.

This means that administrators may get confused by the difference between the dates shown in MS ADUC and UMC/UDM. Maybe we should improve the tooltip and documentation to explain this.
