S.DS.AD – netlogon service
The netlogon service has to be running on your domain controller for authentication to work and for the Active Directory connectivity to happen. How can we check that this is running on all of our DCs?
$type = [System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.DirectoryContextType]::Domain
$context = New-Object -TypeName System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.DirectoryContext -ArgumentList $type, "manticore.org"
$dcs = [System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.DomainController]::FindAll($context)
foreach ($dc in $dcs){
$s = Get-Service -ComputerName $dc.Name -Name netlogon
Write-Host "$dc.Name the netlogon service is $($s.Status)"
}
Get all of the domain controllers in the domain as before. We then loop through them using get-service to test the service for the individual machines.
The output is a bit messy so next time we’ll look at tidying that up.
