Hi,

The computer object will be disabled after the domain computer leaves the domain. You can get the disabled computers by running the PowerShell command below

Get-ADComputer -Filter {Enabled -eq "False"}

To get the domain computers , run

Get-ADComputer -Filter {Enabled -eq "True"}

Best Regards,

Hello Ian Xue. Thank you so much for replaying.

Get-ADComputer -Filter {Enabled -eq "False"}

This command returns(21 computers) the computers that have been disabled like this.

There are computers that have been formatted and joined with another name. However, in the computer container, the old computer names do not have the disabled sign. I want to get the result of computers that are no longer connected to the Active Directory server .

Those computer objects will remain enabled if they didn't leave the domain before being formatted. You can check the LastLogonDate of them and disable the computer objects manually.

Get-ADComputer -Filter {Enabled -eq "True"} -Properties LastLogonDate

To disable computers that have not been logged on for a long period of time, say 360 days, you can try this

$date=(Get-Date).AddDays(-360) Get-ADComputer -filter "enabled -eq 'true'" -Properties LastLogonDate |Where-Object {$_.LastLogonDate -lt $date}|Disable-ADAccount
