This week in My Windows Server 2012 class, I had an interesting question pop up while we were discussing managed service accounts. The client knew they needed to switch off of their current service accounts because to many people knew the passwords. They knew managed service accounts were the way to go, but did not know how to address the issue of how to discover all the services that they were using the same accounts on across all of their servers. The client asked me if they could do it with PowerShell….absolutely!
The cmdlet below will allow you to pipe in a comma separated list of your server names and the cmdlet will return all the accounts being used by the services running on the servers in your environment. I am using the Test-Connection cmdlet in this code so make sure your servers are able to return pings.

The list of servers must be piped in to this cmdlet. .PARAMETER AllAccounts Returns services that have logon accounts of LocalServer or NT AUTHORITY. Without this switch, only services that do not utilize LocalService or NT AUTHORITY will be returned. .PARAMETER Quiet Suppresses the online status display on the monitor. .EXAMPLE "Indy1", "Indy2", "Indy3" | Find-ServiceAccounts Returns the online status of each server, the services running on all servers, and the service account used for the services logon account ina list format. Any service listed as N/A does not exists on that particular server. Only services with a logon account that is not a LocalSystem or NT AUTHORITY account will be listed. .EXAMPLE "Indy1", "Indy2", "Indy3" | Find-ServiceAccounts | FT Check Server LON-DC1 : Online Check Server NotOnline : OffLine Check Server LON-SVR3 : Online ComputerName Online BITS hkmsvc NcaSvc Appinfo ------------ ------ ---- ------ ------ ------- Indy1 True .\Webservice$ ADATUM\Acco... ADATUM\Acco... N/A Indy2 False N/A N/A N/A N/A Indy3 True N/A N/A N/A ADATUM\Acco... Returns the online status of each server, the services running on all servers, and the service account used for the services logon account. Any service listed as N/A does not exists on that particular server. Only services with a logon account that is not a LocalSystem or NT AUTHORITY account will be listed. .EXAMPLE "Indy1", "Indy2", "Indy3" | Find-ServiceAccounts -Quiet | FT ComputerName Online BITS hkmsvc NcaSvc Appinfo ------------ ------ ---- ------ ------ ------- Indy1 True .\Webservice$ ADATUM\Acco... ADATUM\Acco... N/A Indy2 False N/A N/A N/A N/A Indy3 True N/A N/A N/A ADATUM\Acco... Returns the online status of each server, the services running on all servers, and the service account used for the services logon account. Any service listed as N/A does not exists on that particular server. Only services with a logon account that is not a LocalSystem or NT AUTHORITY account will be listed. This example will not display its progress in contacted each server. .EXAMPLE "Indy1", "Indy2", "Indy3" | Find-ServiceAccounts -AllAccounts | FT Returns the online status of each server, the services running on all servers, and the service account used for the services logon account. Any service listed as N/A does not exists on that particular server. .EXAMPLE "Indy1", "Indy2", "Indy3" | Find-ServiceAccounts | Where-Object {$_.Online -eq $True} | Format-table Check Server LON-DC1 : Online Check Server NotOnline : OffLine Check Server LON-SVR3 : Online ComputerName Online BITS hkmsvc NcaSvc Appinfo ------------ ------ ---- ------ ------ ------- Indy1 True .\Webservice$ ADATUM\Acco...

Returns the services running on all servers that are currently online and the service account used for the services logon account. Any service listed as N/A does not exists on that particular server. Only services with a logon account that is not a LocalSystem or NT AUTHORITY account will be listed. .NOTES All servers must be able to return a ping.
