  You need to use a script for that. You can check in your AD MMC, but it's long. It's in the extended section when you turn advanced feature at on. It's the lastlogon value you want to check.

  Some script exemple;

  Hi,

  As far as I know, we could query inactive computer accounts by using Dsquery command and script. For details, please refer to the following articles.

  In addition, we could also find inactive computers using PowerShell.

  If we have some script and PowerShell related issue, we could ask in the script and PowerShell forum.
