Hi,
First, thank you for all scripts !
I ran this script in a forest with parent and two children (Windows 2008 R2 Sp1) with powershell v5.0 and unfortunately there is the same information in the report for the parent domain and the two children; for example, in “Users – Password not changed in last 12 months”, in the parent domain, there is the same accounts that for children domain; maybe I forgot parameters ?

In reply to Kevin Giertz.

There are issues with some of the AD cmdlets. I am trying to find a way to work around those issues. For some multi-domain Forests they work, but for others, not so much.

Thanks

Hi,

We have one primary domain “mycompany.org” and two child domains “adm.mycompany.org, adm.mycompany.org”. We meet all the requirements but still get errors when the script tries to retrive data:

WARNING: Error retrieving domain data for domain mycompany.orgadm.mycompany.orgped.mycompany.org.

As well with:
“Error retrieving OU data” and “Error retrieving Group data”

We are running the script as enterprise user on a winserver 2012 domain controller with word 2013 installed.

We get the same error on different setups. Any ideas what the problem might be?

Thanks
