Why is the LastLogon timestamp different across DRA servers?
Does localization apply to LastLogon timestamps in DRA?

Resolution

The “LastLogon” attribute, as collected and displayed by DRA, is a Date-Time attribute.  As such, a GMT/UTC offset is used.  The DRA server will return the UTC format and the clients will display the attribute by converting the date-time to its own local time zone.
 
This explains why DRA servers in different time zones will display the LastLogon value differently across the same MMS.
