Get PC Names with Managed By Attribute

Question

Hi,

Is it possible to export a list of PCs with "Managed By" attribute from a specific OU?

Thanks.

Answer 1

in powershell

# Import the Active Directory module
Import-Module ActiveDirectory

# Specify the distinguished name of the OU (Organizational Unit) where your computers are located
$ou = "OU=Computers,DC=yourdomain,DC=com"

# Get a list of computers with the "Managed By" attribute
$computers = Get-ADComputer -Filter * -SearchBase $ou -Properties ManagedBy | Where-Object { $_.ManagedBy }

# Display the computer names and their corresponding "Managed By" users
foreach ($computer in $computers) {
    $computerName = $computer.Name
    $managedBy = Get-ADUser -Identity $computer.ManagedBy
    $managedByName = $managedBy.Name

    Write-Output "Computer: $computerName - Managed By: $managedByName"
}

Hi @create share

I think on you script you didn't specify the path of target OU. Please check on your script if the path is correct , if it's not the case replace "OU=Computers,DC=yourdomain,DC=com" by the correct OU in your domain.
