How to count number of objects in active directory

How to count how many objects in AD? How many users, computers, and groups?

Due to compliance or Asset/inventory/License management purposes, we always need a count of the systems we have in our environment. If you are running the Microsoft Windows platform and have an Active Directory environment. So, the best solution is the “Get-AD” power-shell command.

Commands are:

For Users Count

(Get-ADUser -Filter *).Count

For Groups Count

(Get-ADGroup -Filter *).Count

For Computers Count

(Get-ADComputer -Filter *).Count

For the Total AD objects count of the Site

(Get-ADObject -SearchBase "cn=Configuration,dc=mydomain,dc=com" -LDAPFilter "(objectClass=site)").Count

For the Total AD objects count of the Domain

(Get-ADObject -SearchBase "dc=Mydomain,dc=com" -LDAPFilter "(objectCategory=*)").Count
