([adsi]"WinNT://<COMPUTERNAME>/administrator").passwordage.value/86400

This requires RPC/DCOM access to the remote computer. Or use PowerShell remoting with Invoke-Command:

invoke-command {
new-object PSObject -property @{
Computername = $env:computername
AdminAge = ([adsi]"WinNT://$env:computername/administrator").passwordage.value/86400
}
} -ComputerName $computers | Select Computername,AdminAge

  3. Great on-liner, I use it continually in our enterprise. For readability in one of my scheduled tasks that sends out overview emails, I added formatting to limit the returned data to one decimal point (boss no likey long numbers). My modification below:

    “{0:N1}” -f (([adsi]”WinNT://COMPUTERNAME/administrator”).passwordage.value/86400)
