As for the machine, you will need to look at the security log assuming you have
auditing enabled for logon events.

As for when the last logon occurred, the concept of logons is a bit different in
  Windows, such that you will have to query every DC for the lastlogon attribute
and then sort them out.

In K3, there is a new attribute available called lastLogonTimeStamp that has the
a time stamp that is up to 10 days old. It is simply to help find out what IDs
are still being used. You can adjust the latency but it isn't good to crank it
up to say daily as that adds considerable replication if you have a large
environment of a couple of hundred thousand users or people over slow wan links.
