DESCRIPTION

This function enumerates all machines on the current (or specified) domain using Get-DomainComputer, and queries the domain for users of a specified group (default 'Domain Admins') with Get-DomainGroupMember. Then for each server the function enumerates any current processes running with Get-WMIProcess, searching for processes running under any target user contexts or with the specified -ProcessName. If -Credential is passed, it is passed through to the underlying WMI commands used to enumerate the remote machines.

EXAMPLES

-------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 --------------------------

Find-DomainProcess

Searches for processes run by 'Domain Admins' by enumerating every computer in the domain.

-------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 --------------------------

Find-DomainProcess -UserAdminCount -ComputerOperatingSystem 'Windows 7*' -Domain dev.testlab.local

Enumerates Windows 7 computers in dev.testlab.local and returns any processes being run by privileged users in dev.testlab.local.

-------------------------- EXAMPLE 3 --------------------------

Find-DomainProcess -ProcessName putty.exe

Searchings for instances of putty.exe running on the current domain.

-------------------------- EXAMPLE 4 --------------------------

$SecPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString 'Password123!' -AsPlainText -Force

$Cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential('TESTLAB\dfm.a', $SecPassword) Find-DomainProcess -Domain testlab.local -Credential $Cred

Searches processes being run by 'domain admins' in the testlab.local using the specified alternate credentials.
