Win32-UserAccount

Description

The Win32_UserAccount WMI class contains information about a user account on a Windows operating system. Note: Because both the Name and Domain are key properties, enumerating Win32_UserAccount on a large network can affect performance negatively. Calling GetObject or querying for a specific instance has less impact.

Example(s)

  $computer = "LocalHost" 
$namespace = "root\CIMV2" 
Get-WmiObject -class Win32_UserAccount -computername $computer -namespace $namespace
