In AD Users and Computers, inspecting the Object tab of the user account, there is a Created field.
You would need to select View menu > Advanced to be able to see the Object tab.

Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://cn=ken myer, ou=Finance, dc=fabrikam, dc=com")
Wscript.Echo objUser.WhenCreated
Get-ADUser -Identity garys -Properties whenCreated
