List Inactive Users for a period of time

Is there a way to list by ID all Inactive Users for a period of time?  We want to validate that if they are inactive for a certain period that they are disabled.  I looked at get-PWuserByLastLogin and I'm not entirely sure of the results that I'm getting.  It appears to also give me newly created accounts that someone has not logged into.  What I ultimately would like is if the account was create over such a period or has not logged in over a period to disable and/or delete the account.

Thanks,

Frank

    Accounts created but never logged into have null for their last login date. (Also if your ProjectWise is old enough you may have accounts where the create date is null. The create date wasn't added until 2007-2008, our accounts created before then have no create date).

    It looks like Get-PWUserByLastLogin converts null last login dates to 1/1/1979 1:00:00 AM (I'm in central time, not sure that matters)

    So you'll want to drop any accounts with create dates later than the period you specified for LastLogin. powershell's get-date command and the ability to do date math is a big help here.

    # find users last logged in 2 years ago
$DaysAgo = 365*2

$old_users = Get-PWUserByLastLogin -DaysAgo $DaysAgo
# remove users created after $DaysAgo
# use -$DaysAgo to subtract days from today
$old_users = $old_users | where CreationDate -lt (get-date).AddDays(-$DaysAgo)

# Display users
$old_users | select UserID,CreationDate,LastLogin | Sort CreationDate | Format-Table

    Oh I forgot you wanted disabled users, change line 7 to:

    $old_users = $old_users | where IsDisabled -eq $true | where CreationDate -lt (get-date).AddDays(-$DaysAgo)
