Scripts for Services/OU's and Groups

[LaValva]

I'm trying to document all our servers at work. We need a list of all running services, OU's, users, location/filename of GPUs, permissions and groups.

I know I've seen scripts for a lot of these things, I was just wondering if anyone knew where I could find these scripts? Even if there are DOS commands, a simple text file would be fine for now.

Thanks so much...

For OU's and users, you should be able to pull most basic info right from Active Directory Users and Computers.

For GPO's, you can use the Group Policy Management console. There's an item in the left column labeled Group Policy Objects and it'll show you every GPO defined in each Active Directory domain in a forest.

For anything you might need to script, ***********.com might be a good place to start. It's a commercial site, but they've got a whole lot of free resources for KiXtart and other scripting languages. As far as scripting goes, KiXtart is an easy language to learn and is pretty darn powerful for the price (free).

Joeware.net is another good site with some handy Windows domain tools. HERE is a direct link to the free Windows downloads.

Awesome, thanks a lot. I know how to do it manually, but I was thinking something Belarc or Everest-style where I can just run something and have it pull that info down, if that makes sense. I'll definitely check out that stuff though.

Offhand, do you know the DOS command to get a list of running services?

[I4one]

From the RUN box;
Start | Run Services.msc
is that what you mean?

[LaValva]

No... From the command prompt so I can export it as a text file...

[ua549]

From the cmd line net services 2>\services.txt will output a list of running services to a text file, services.txt in the root directory.

[LaValva]

Awesome, exactly what I'm looking for... Thanks!

Any other suggestions for getting the other information?

[ua549]

From a DC cmd line net group >\group.txt will output a list of domain groups to a text file, group.txt in the root directory. This command is valid only on a domain controller.

I'm not aware of a way to list OU's from a cui.

[LaValva]

The services command didn't output the full list of running services. Anything else I can use?

[ua549]

Sorry about that. The info I gave you about services was wrong (I'm getting old. )

You can use the TASKLIST command in Windows XP or Windows Server 2003.

C:\>tasklist /?

TASKLIST [/S system [/U username [/P [password]]]]
         [/M [module] | /SVC | /V] [/FI filter] [/FO format] [/NH]

    This command line tool displays a list of application(s) and
    associated task(s)/process(es) currently running on either a
    local or remote system.

                           loaded in them that match the given
                           pattern name.  If the module name is not
                           specified, displays all modules loaded by
                           each task.

   /SVC                    Displays services in each process.

    TASKLIST /S system /U username /P password /FO TABLE /NH
    TASKLIST /FI "USERNAME ne NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /FI "STATUS
    eq running"

You could also use the PSSERVICE tool, which is a part of Sysinternals' free Process Tools. Check 'em out even if TASKLIST handles the job at hand. There are other tools in the suite like Process Explorer that come in handy.

Awesome... Thanks a lot for all the info.

Good post Skydog! I was not aware of the tasklist command. It isn't included in the command list generated in a cmd window.
