Recently our IT dept was going through yearly Audit and we had to provide active directory details asked by the auditor team. I used few commands that saved lot of time to get our desired/trimmed results. and since I mostly use my Ubuntu box to manage large portion of my network, therefore i made few scripts using these commands to be executed from linux based pc.
I had to repeat the whole search criteria every time by refreshing the memory/google, and since it this is a repeating task , and I had to go through the search process every time, I thought to make all these documented so that I can retrieve them when required.
I also linked these scripts with the Linux base WEBMIN, so they can be called by GUI for support staff as well.
Most queries are executed from Linux base system using WINEXE, if you are using windows only then you may want to modify it as required, I am just showing an way of executing AD commands via powershell using *nix ![🙂]()
. The most annoyed thing was to wrap the commands in single/double quotes along with other parameters to make it single liner execution bomb.
Command to Display All users along with every detail / information
winexe -U DOMAIN/ID%PASS //101.11.11.5 'powershell.exe -command "import-module activedirectory; Get-ADUser -Filter * -Properties *"'

$uo = $user.distinguishedname.substring($user.distinguishedname.indexof(",") + 1,$user.distinguishedname.Length - $user.distinguishedname.indexof(",") - 1)
write-host "$($user.Name) = $($uo.split(',')[0])"
