Good of you to offer I think I have it though, well one of many possible, any improvements recommended? $DNSServer = "<Server>" $Domain = "<DomainToDisplay>" Get-WMIObject -Class "MicrosoftDNS_AType" -Namespace "root\MicrosoftDNS" ` -ComputerName $DNSServer -Filter "DomainName='$Domain'" ` \| ForEach { ($_.OwnerName) + " " + ` (Get-Date("01/01/1601")).AddHours($_.TimeStamp) } Might be easier to read spread out though.
