Active Directory Recon Functions

The PowerUpSQL functions listed below use the OLE DB ADSI provider to query Active Directory for domain users, computers, and other configuration information through SQL Server queries. Each function can execute it's LDAP queries through a Linked Server (OPENQUERY) or ad hoc query (OPENROWSET). Use the -UseAdHoc flag to switch between modes. If you're interested in a cheatsheet with additional LDAP queries check out out this Microsoft article on ldap filters. Also, this Microsoft article provides a basic overview of the Active Directory object model.

Note: All functions require the sysadmin role.

Get-SQLDomainUser -UserState Disabled	Provides a list of the disabled domain users on the SQL Server's domain.
Get-SQLDomainUser -UserState Enabled	Provides a list of the enabled domain users on the SQL Server's domain.
Get-SQLDomainUser -UserState Locked	Provides a list of the locked domain users on the SQL Server's domain.
Get-SQLDomainUser -UserState PreAuthNotRequired	Provides a list of the domain users that do not require Kerberos preauthentication on the SQL Server's domain.
Get-SQLDomainUser -UserState PwLastSet 90	This parameter can be used to list users that have not change their password in the last 90 days. Any number can be provided though.
Get-SQLDomainUser -UserState PwNeverExpires	Provides a list of the domain users that never expire on the SQL Server's domain.
Get-SQLDomainUser -UserState PwNotRequired	Provides a list of the domain users with the PASSWD_NOTREQD flag set on the SQL Server's domain.
Get-SQLDomainUser -UserState PwStoredRevEnc	Provides a list of the domain users storing their password using reversible encryption on the SQL Server's domain.
Get-SQLDomainUser -UserState SmartCardRequired	Provides a list of the domain users that require smart card for interactive login on the SQL Server's domain.
Get-SQLDomainUser -UserState TrustedForDelegation	Provides a list of the domain users trusted for delegation on the SQL Server's domain.
Get-SQLDomainUser -UserState TrustedToAuthForDelegation	Provides a list of the domain users trusted to authenticate for delegation on the SQL Server's domain.

Examples:

LDAP query will run as the SQL Server service account using an ad-hoc query, but assumes that the domain user is a sysadmin:
Get-SQLDomainUser -Verbose -Instance MSSQLSRV04\SQLSERVER2014 -UseAdHoc 

LDAP query will run as the current domain user using an ad-hoc query, but the SQL login provided must be a sysadmin.
Get-SQLDomainUser -Verbose -Instance MSSQLSRV04\SQLSERVER2014 -Username sa -Password 'Pass123!' -UseAdHoc  

LDAP query will run as the provided domain user using a SQL Server link, but assumes that current domain user is a sysadmin.	
Get-SQLDomainUser -Verbose -Instance MSSQLSRV04\SQLSERVER2014 -LinkUsername 'demo\administrator' -LinkPassword 'BestPasswordEver!'

LDAP query will run as the provided domain user using a SQL Server link, but the SQL login provided must be a sysadmin.
Get-SQLDomainUser -Verbose -Instance MSSQLSRV04\SQLSERVER2014 -Username sa -Password 'Pass123!' -LinkUsername 'demo\administrator' -LinkPassword 'BestPasswordEver!'
