How to count number of objects in active directory
How to count how many objects in AD? How many users, computers, and groups?
Due to compliance or Asset/inventory/License management purposes, we always need a count of the systems we have in our environment. If you are running the Microsoft Windows platform and have an Active Directory environment. So, the best solution is the “Get-AD” power-shell command.
Commands are:
For Users Count
(Get-ADUser -Filter *).Count
For Groups Count
(Get-ADGroup -Filter *).Count
For Computers Count
(Get-ADComputer -Filter *).Count
For the Total AD objects count of the Site
(Get-ADObject -SearchBase "cn=Configuration,dc=mydomain,dc=com" -LDAPFilter "(objectClass=site)").Count
For the Total AD objects count of the Domain
(Get-ADObject -SearchBase "dc=Mydomain,dc=com" -LDAPFilter "(objectCategory=*)").Count
