PowerShell Commands to list domain controllers in Domain.

My previous article talks about listing domain controllers in a domain in non-powershell world. But with introduction of powershell things changed a lot to give more flexibility to system administrators and developers.

Below piece of powershell code helps to you get it.

List domain Controllers in domain:

$localdomain = [System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Domain]::GetCurrentDomain()

$localdomain | % { $_.DomainControllers } | Select name

 

List all domain controllers in forest

$localdomain = [System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Domain]::GetCurrentDomain()$localdomain.forest.domains | % { $_.DomainControllers } | Select name

You can count the no. of domain controllers also.

($localdomain.forest.domains | % { $_.DomainControllers } | Select name).count
