Function Get-LocalUser { | |

.SYNOPSIS | |
Get local account information using ADSI. | |
.DESCRIPTION | |
This command uses ADSI to connect to a server and enumerate local user accounts. By default it will retrieve all local user accounts or you can specify one by name. | |
The command uses legacy protocols to connect and enumerate accounts. You may find it more efficient to wrap this function in an Invoke-Command expression. See examples. | |
NOTE: If you run this against a domain controller you will get your domain accounts. | |
.PARAMETER Computername | |
The name of a computer to query. The parameter has aliases of 'CN' and 'Host'. | |
.PARAMETER Name | |
The name of a local user account, like Administrator. The parameter has an alias of 'User'. | |
