    While we could all probably rewrite this as a single-liner, we must show some respect to the manager who can convert the 'lastLogon' integer value into a usable date and time.

    Also, if you've got multiple Domain Controllers, the 'lastlogon' timestamp might not be accurate. Certainly the 'LastLogonDate' field - which is the converted version of 'lastLogon' - can be out of sync by up to a fortnight across your DCs.

    Oh, frist too.

    Good to know! So you can add hidden users that won't show up in the report by naming them 1hacker and the like.

    Is the search accent-insensitive? If not, they'd better hope they don't have an Élise on the payroll, never mind an Øyvind.

    This gives me the idea for a cool WTF sorting algorithm. Construct all possible strings in alphabetic order, then walk along that list and pick those that are in your unsorted list. I feel like we are one recursive call away from doing that.

    Wouldn't surprise me if they have a bunch of "test" or "system" usernames prefixed with non-alphabetic characters, and the script works like that for exactly that reason ...
