Version: 1 | Requires: CF6 | Library: DateLib

Description:
Time in Active Directory is stored in a 64 bit integer that keeps track of the number of 100-Nanosecond intervals which have passed since January 1, 1601 (not to be confused with EPOCH). The 64 bit value uses 2 32bit parts to store the time. This function simply takes that number, and converts it for easy use. Algorithm adapted from a House of Fusion posting from David Strong. Returns a structure with the following elements: date: mm/dd/yyyy formatted date. time: HH:mm formatted date. ts: Raw timestamp.

Return Values:
Returns a struct.

Example:

<cfset stADDateTime = convertActiveDirectoryTime("127944393687163952")>
<cfoutput>
The Date is #stADDateTime.Date# and the time is #stADDateTime.Time#. 
Or freestyle format of: #DateFormat(stADDateTime.ts,"MMDDYYYY")# #TimeFormat(stADDateTime.ts,"hh:mmtt")#
</cfoutput>

Parameters:

Name Description Required
adTime Time in ActiveDirectory format. Yes
