windows timestamp format?

[sde]

i finally got my php->ldap->active directory project working, and i'm analyzing the data retrieved from the directory.

there are fields that are time sensitive like when the account was created, last login, etc .. the value of those fields are a long string of numbers.

i'm wondering how to read those numbers.

example for accountexpires:

9223372036854775807

[Admin]

could it be some type of count down?

[joe_bruin]

9223372036854775807 = 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

this is the largest signed 64bit number.

odds are, there is some defined constant somewhere that corresponds to this number (probably something like EXPIRES_NEVER).
