What is the default logs storage time in AD domain controller server?

I do not have this with me to check, as I am not OS administrator. I suppose there is some default time set in Active Directory (AD) for logs storage. I am particularly interested in logs for user logging in/out storage. I would need to inspect these logs, as some AD users were deleted, but I have to find out the last time when they actually logged in into the system.

Default Tombstone Lifetime Settings (days):

• Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 RTM: 60
• Server 2003 SP1: 180
• Server 2003 R2: 60 or 180
• Server 2003 SP2, Server 2003 R2 SP2, and later:180
• Windows Server 2008 and higher 180

Determining actual system's Tombstone Lifetime Setting:

dsquery * "cn=directory service,cn=windows nt,cn=services,cn=configuration,dc=<FQDN>" -scope base -attr tombstonelifetime

Getting deleted objects:

Ldifde -u -x -f <FileName.txt>

_{-u Use Unicode format
-x Include deleted objects (tombstones)}

To find deleted users:

• in the <FileName.txt> search for \0ADEL string or CN=Deleted Objects.
• or use GUI: use ldp.exe and look for CN=Deleted Objects.

Getting UserName and timestamp of NOT deleted users:

  dsquery * -limit 0 -filter "&(objectClass=User)(objectCategory=Person)" -attr sAMAccountName lastlogontimestamp

If more data is needed, use -attr *.

To convert received timestamp to date use this:

w32tm /ntte 130722669980039000

Output:

151299 09:16:38.0039000 - 31.03.2015 12:16:38 (local time)
