PowerShell Script to Audit User Account Security

Security & AuditingJanuary 13, 2025

This PowerShell script audits user accounts in Active Directory to identify accounts that may pose security risks. It checks for accounts that are disabled, expired, or have never been logged into, allowing administrators to take appropriate actions.

powershell

Import-Module ActiveDirectory

$users = Get-ADUser -Filter * -Properties Enabled, LastLogonDate, AccountExpirationDate

$problematicUsers = $users | Where-Object {
    ($_.Enabled -eq $false) -or
    ($_.AccountExpirationDate -lt (Get-Date)) -or
    ($_.LastLogonDate -eq $null)
}

$problematicUsers | Select-Object Name, Enabled, LastLogonDate, AccountExpirationDate | Format-Table -AutoSize

$problematicUsers | Export-Csv -Path 'C:\UserAuditReport.csv' -NoTypeInformation
