Quick way of listing all Active Directory Domain Accounts

Listing all Active Directory Domain Accounts using WMIC

By using WMIC you can get all the AD domain accounts very quickly.

WMIC is an acronym for Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line

Here's how we do it.

Just open a command prompt, no need to be an elevated command prompt.

At C prompt type:

C:\>wmic /node:domain_name /output:d:\usr.txt "useraccount" get


Change output drive to any drive you want the output to be exported.

Note that the word "USERACCOUNT" has no space, it is  one word.

After exporting the file.

Open the text or the output file using Excel.

Open Excel, press Control+O then the open Window will show.

I'm using Excel 2010, so go to All Files and select "Text Files".

Follow the on screen instruction and click on "Finish".

Then you will be able to see all the "Domain User Accounts", "SIDs", "Description", "Lock Out Status" and other details.

Please check sample below on how the output looks like:
But of course if you open the file, in Excel it will be tabulated by rows


Sample Output Generated by the WMIC command
Account Type Caption
512 Domain_Name\Administrator
Description Disabled
Built-in account for administering the computer/domain FALSE

SID SID Type

WMIC get computer name

WMIC get computer model, manufacturer, computer name and  username. WMIC is a command-line tool and that can generate information about computer model, its manufacturer, its username and other informations depending on the parameters provided.

If you have remote computers, you need to delegate someone in the remote office or location to check. Or you can just write a batch file or script to automate the task.

The error code is quite simple and easy to fix, if the job print goes to the printer but print out doesn’t come out. So, basically the print job was received by the printer, but the printer just doesn’t know what type of paper or what size to use or which tray to utilize for the print out. In some instances, this is just a paper mismatch but the error description; if using Windows 10 to print does not exactly points to what is the issue. First thing to check, is the paper size selected by the user to print. Example, if the printer configuration is A3 and A4 sizes only. But then the person printing the file accidentally chooses “A4 Cover” then this error 016-799 will occur. ...

Notepad++ can easily do it using regex. However, if the data is on a single line and it needs to be converted into multiple lines or rows then regex can also be used for this case. Here’s an example on how to convert multiple rows or lines into a single line. Example data: Multiple rows, just a sample data. Press Ctrl+H, and  on "Find what" type: [\r\n]+ and on "Replace with" type with: , (white space) --white space is needed if need to have a space in between the data.
