SOLVED Use Powershell to audit Windows service accounts
-
Simple enough - I need a script that will generate a report of all services running on non-standard accounts. I'm testing a couple found online, but they aren't doing the thing exactly.
This one: https://robbiecrash.me/powershell-audit-service-accounts/ ran for a bit then errored out.
Currently running this one: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Get-ADComputerServiceAccoun-8bb81568 slow, but seems to be working (and has a switch to output a csv file).
Anyone have a specific script for this? Got any brilliant ideas or tips that I'm missing? I'm not sharp enough on PS to see what is incorrect.

Unless you're wanting to use Powershell for a learning experience you might look at something like this: http://www.cjwdev.com/Software/ServiceCredMan/Info.html. If you still want to use the Powershell route this might be a good way to check the success of your script.

I started by going into our main servers and exporting the list of services from services.msc. Works fine, but I know we have some oddball accounts running services, and I don't want to manually repeat this ad nauseum.

I have really looked in using PowerShell to audit Windows service accounts.
I have used SaltStack to manage windows services but that's about it.

That looks like it will do exactly what we want... thanks for the link.
