Finding Domain Controllers with Powershell

How to Find Domain Controllers with Windows Powershell.

 

Get-ADDomainController

Gets one or more Active Directory domain controllers based on discoverable services criteria, search parameters or by providing a domain controller identifier, such as the NetBIOS name.

 

In this post I will showcase how to get all the below listed information using Windows PowerShell.

1.Domain Controllers

2. Forest

3. Ipv4Address

4.OperatingSytem

5.Is the Server a Global Catalog

First we will start by running a one liner to give us the domain controllers

Get-ADDomainController

 

If any of you are like me I want to see less, so below we will modify the Line to give us only the information we looking for.

Get-ADDomainController -Filter * | Select-Object Name,Domain,Forest,Ipv4Address,OperatingSystem,IsGlobalCatalog

 

Now we see what we want to see 🙂

Hope this is somewhat useful to someone.
