Active Directory

How Many computers you’re managed ?

when did you checked last time ?

are all the computers object on your directory are “alive” ?

first thing first ..

First –

load the Active Directory Module

Import-Module ActiveDirectory

1	Import-Module ActiveDirectory

Note: Since Powershell V.3 the module of Active Directory will be loaded automatically if you’ll just enter a command from this module.

But we like to help it out.

lets store the results in a Variable Array so we can use it again … and again..

$list = Get-ADComputer -Filter 'ObjectClass -eq "Computer"' | Select Name

1	$list = Get-ADComputer -Filter 'ObjectClass -eq "Computer"' \| Select Name

now we can view the results by typing the variable $list ,and we can also can count the number of objects we got returned from the command

we ran by the “Count” option..

like $list.Count

All Together –

#Get All Computers Objects on ActiveDirectory -

Import-Module ActiveDirectory
$list = Get-ADComputer -Filter 'ObjectClass -eq "Computer"' | Select Name
$list

#Get All Computers Objects on ActiveDirectory -

Import-Module ActiveDirectory

$list = Get-ADComputer -Filter 'ObjectClass -eq "Computer"' | Select Name

$list
