PowerTip: Use PowerShell to Get List of FSMO Role Holders

Doctor Scripto

Summary: Use Windows PowerShell to get a list of FSMO role holders in Active Directory.

 I use NETDOM QUERY FSMO to list my domain controllers that hold the FSMO roles, but can I do it with Windows PowerShell?

 As usual, there is more than one way to do most things in Windows PowerShell, but here are some syntax examples to meet your needs:

Get-ADDomain | Select-Object InfrastructureMaster, RIDMaster, PDCEmulator

Get-ADForest | Select-Object DomainNamingMaster, SchemaMaster

Get-ADDomainController -Filter * |

     Select-Object Name, Domain, Forest, OperationMasterRoles |

     Where-Object {$_.OperationMasterRoles} |

     Format-Table -AutoSize
