Run User Count Check

Question

How can I run user count check manually in Windows Server 2019 so I can figure out the number of users?
What power shell command to list the users that user count check sees?

Answer 1

Hi,

Have the users been created in an AD domain or as local accounts?

Hello Kd,

You can use:

For only Enabled User Accounts
(get-aduser -filter *|where {$_.enabled -eq "True"}).count

For only Disabled User Accounts
(get-aduser -filter *|where {$_.enabled -ne "False"}).count

Answer 3

I tried (get-aduser -filter *|where {$_.enabled -eq "True"}).count
but I found that some users do not have the Enabled attribute
so it is not showing correctly.

What might cause the missing attribute? How to put it back?

Hi @k d

Try this for enabled users, it uses a LDAP filter which will limit the records that are returned, reducing the time to complete query

(get-aduser -LDAPFilter '(!userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)').count  

For disabled users count use this one

(get-aduser -LDAPFilter '(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)').count

When I looked at the attribute enabled via get-aduser -filter *|where {$_.enabled -eq "True"}, regular users do not have it, only administrators.
