  • New Script: Find Services Using a Domain Account on Specified Computers in Microsoft Active Directory (Get-ServiceAccounts V1.00)

    December 19, 2019

    Active Directory, PowerShell

    One of the questions asked when I am either doing Active Directory (AD) remediation work or preparing a customer for an AD migration is “what domain accounts are used by what services and on what computers?”

    That question is what this script is designed to answer.

    This is my first script that accepts input from the pipeline. I believe I tested every scenario I could think of. I am sure you will let me know what I forgot to test. 🙂

    Below are screenshots of what I tested.
