Hello,

I am trying to convert a returned LDAP attribute accountExpiry to date.

131663448000000000 is the returned value.

Any advice?

Regards

This site might be a good starting point.

[LDAP, Active Directory & Filetime Timestamp Converter](https://www.epochconverter.com/ldap)

It has a converter and states how LDAP time stamps are defined.

```auto
def ntTime(t):
  from datetime import datetime,timedelta
  return datetime(1601,1,1) + timedelta(microseconds=t/10)
  
print ntTime(131663448000000000)

```
