AD account information

Hello,

I have a question regarding some data I pulled off a
customers AD. We recently ran AD scan to identify
several user accoutn violation types using AD
Inspector (www.obtuse.net/software/adinspector).
Basically the search contained filters for users who
dont have password expirations enabled and also users
who havent logged in in the last 90 days (stale
accounts). Anyways, the results were quite suprising
and I'd like to validate them.

My question is this. Is the lastLogon AD account
property updated any time a user authenticates to AD
regardless of the service? Like, if I login to a 3rd
party application which uses LDAP integration with AD
for authentication, will that update the users
lastLogon property in AD?
