I would like to get in .csv (or any other readable format) all my AD users and the policies that they need to comply (What is their password policy and much much more).
Get-ADUser and CSVDE commands do not give me all the policies.
Basically I need sort of a merge between GPO per user...
Thanks,
Nir

Good evening, my problem is that in my active directory I have about 22,000 users, of which 12,000 have been moved to a group called "mobiles" which cannot benefit from a new measure (gpo) that I have to implement, which is to put them a 12-character password, these 12,000 users have to continue with the gpo which can only have 8 characters in the password, that is, the default domain policy will affect all users except those in the "mobile" group. But my problem is the following, when new users are created by default they will be created in the default domain policy and I cannot create them in the "mobile" group directly due to company policies, and hundreds of them can be created per day. Do you have any ideas for new "mobile" users to take advantage of the old 8-character gpo, but they are being created in domain policy, or any suggestions, because I'm pretty stuck?
thank you

I have an active directory on Windows Server 2016 Standard.
How to create custom password policy on Active Directory? I do not mean standard fine-grained policy with just length of password and number of remembered passwords. I mean I need to prohibit to use names, surname, cities etc. as password.
How to do that?
Please assist.
Thank you for your attention.
You'll need additional software for that. Google password policy enforcer.
We need to now how we can check whether an account in AD has permissions to add/remove membership on AD group. AD team will be giving our service account permissions for 1000 groups at one time and we want to know a way to check quickly if we really do have permissions before confirming. Any help would be appreciated!
This is hard to answer except for the fact that when they give you permission you can test adding and removing a test user to a group. But this will all depend on the fact if the groups have all the standard default permissions when created, also the method that the AD team will give you access. Adding you to a built in group that has permission to edit the AD group, or if they are going to create a new group and add that to the AD groups. Sorry to be vague but a lot of variable here.
I use Exchange 2003 and I have been searching a lot and found related queries like
(&(UserAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)(msExchHomeServerName=*)(objectClass=User))
Which enumerates disabled user accounts with mailboxes, but what I want is quite the opposite, user accounts (enabled or disabled) with CLOSED mailboxes. Thanks beforehand for any help!
Exchange and Active Directory are separate, if user is created on AD doesn’t mean that it will have mailbox account too but usually both are used together.
You can use any LDAP browser like JXplorer or LDAPadmin to check the settings for your users on Active Directory. You will find disabled users on AD moved to different OU or there should be some attribute which will differentiate it from active users.
You can export LDIF file (by LDAP browser like LDAPadmin) for one active user and one disabled user and compare both to find relevant attribute for disabled entity and use it for your query filter. You can consult your IT team also who is managing Active directory for more details. HTH :)
I sill fail to see the light in LDAP ;) ...
Here is the use case: I am trying to setup Jira to sync LDAP directory for login but because the directory is huge I do need to be very sensitive on how do I make the query, in order to eliminate the garbage.
I need both Users and Service Accounts.
HEre are the requirements (you are free to suggest more):
Account should not start with _ # or `
Should be normal account (not machine, trust or whatever)
It shouldn't be a mailing list
It shouldn't be a meeting room
Here is a partial solution that I have, still not completely happy. In order to make it easier to read I will put the conditions separated.
They are ordered in order to improve query speed:
(samAccountType=805306368) // user/person (optimum test)
(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=512) // normal account
(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=32)) // allow only accounts with passwords
(mail=*) // with email
(uSNChanged=*) // eliminates few invalid accounts
(!(sAMAccountName=_*))
(!(sAMAccountName=#*))
(!(sAMAccountName=$*))
Compiled query:
(&(samAccountType=805306368)(!sAMAccountName=*)(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=512)(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=32))(mail=*)(uSNChanged=*)(!sAMAccountName=_*)(!sAMAccountName=#*)(!sAMAccountName=$*))
