Active Drectory: Disabled Computers

[NArezdog]

Does anyone know how to report disabled computers in AD?

[mmotti · Accepted solution]

PowerShell definitely ideal for this.

Would probably be a fair amount quicker to run this, though:

Get-ADComputer -Filter 'Enabled -eq $false' -Properties Enabled | Select Name, Enabled

No need to grab all properties with Get-AdComputer if you are only selecting Name and Enabled.

Cheers,

Matt

I primarily use Lansweeper for all my network reporting, but when are there queries that I'm not able to run in LS (because data is not collected), I turn to PowerShell.

This will work in PowerShell v3 or greater. If you have a DC that is WIN 2008 R2 or greater, you have PowerShell installed.

get-adcomputer -Filter {(name -like "*") -and (enabled -eq $FALSE)} -properties * | Select Name, Enabled

Lansweeper does not scan the computer status (enabled/disabled) from Active Directory, so this information cannot be included in reports unfortunately. We've added the feature to our wish list, but do not have a release date for it.
