i am a bit confused when it comes to the whenchanged user-attribute in active directory. Lets say i have a user xy with a mailbox. This mailbox is shared with a few people. They all do not log directly into this account, but via outlook.

Am i assuming right, that everytime a user is receiving an email with that account, the whenchanged attribute will change?

I know, that this attribute wont replicate to all the dcs but it would help me in my investigation if i fully understand this attribute.

Thanks

The answer is... No.

This atributte only change when some information in the attributes of User in DA... !changed¡ ;) or you change a primary group. Recieve mails dont modify the object

For example, adress, phone number, password, etc.
