Hi,

Computer objects inherit from the user and person classes, so they have the
same attributes. The badPasswordTime attribute represents the last time the
object attempted to login with a bad password. Computers login to the domain
when they startup. They attempt to change their password every 30 days (it
was 7 days in NT). It is possible for the password to get out of synch, in
which case this attribute would be assigned a value (Integer8, which is
64-bit).
