ADAudit : Powershell Script To Do Domain Auditing Automation

ADAudit is a PowerShell Script to perform a quick AD audit. If you have any decent powershell one liners that could be used in the script please let me know. I’m trying to keep this script as a single file with no requirements on external tools (other than ntdsutil and cmd.exe)

Run directly on a DC using a DA. If you don’t trust the code I suggest reading it first and you’ll see it’s all harmless! (But shouldn’t you be doing that anyway with code you download off the net and then run as DA??)

What this does?

    • Get-HostDetails
  • Domain Audit
    • Get-MachineAccountQuota
    • Get-SMB1Support
    • Get-FunctionalLevel
    • Get-DCsNotOwnedByDA

    • Get-ProtectedUsers
  • Password Information Audit
    • Get-AccountPassDontExpire
    • Get-UserPasswordNotChangedRecently
    • Get-PasswordPolicy
  • Dumps NTDS.dit
    • Get-NTDSdit
  • Computer Objects Audit
    • Get-OldBoxes
