Check if Accounts Are Enabled in On-premise Active Directory

Chuck's Scripts

Chuck's Scripts

Use this script to check on-premises Active Directory to determine if an account is enabled and display it in a formatted column. In summary, the script reads a list of user-names from a text file, retrieves their Active Directory user information, and displays their names and enabled status in a formatted table.

Technical Details

This PowerShell script performs the following actions:

1. It reads the contents of a text file named “migrate_user.txt” located at “C:\temp” and assigns the content to the variable $User.

2. It iterates over each item in the $User variable using a foreach loop, assigning each item to the variable $UItem.

3. Within the loop, it executes the cmdlet Get-ADUser to retrieve Active Directory user information for the user specified by $UItem.

    • The -Property Enabled parameter specifies that the “Enabled” property should be included in the output.

4. The output of Get-ADUser is then piped (|) to the Format-Table (alias FT) cmdlet, which formats the output as a table.

    • The Name and Enabled properties of each user are displayed in the table.
    • The -Autosize parameter adjusts the column widths automatically based on the content.

The list containing users should be formatted as:  (using user IDs pulled from AD)
