Here is  how I came to the final script.

First of all: to get the domain users, use the command:

  • Get-QADUser

This will return a list of all the domain users. As it will not return the property LastLogon, you have to include it. And for a better performance you can exclude the default properties

  • Get-QADUser  -IncludedProperties name,lastlogon

You will now have all your domain users and the property Lastlogon. To list them:

  • Get-QADUser -DontUseDefaultIncludedProperties -IncludedProperties lastlogon  | Select-Object Name,LastLogon

Next, to export it to a csv file (use the NoTypeInformation parameter to remove the .NET object header):

  • Get-QADUser -DontUseDefaultIncludedProperties -IncludedProperties lastlogon  | Select-Object Name,LastLogon | Export-Csv c:\ADusers.csv -NoTypeInformation

BTW: I used PowerGUI Script Editor
