I often need to get information on a user in Active Directory but I don’t have time to scroll through multiple clicks and windows to get there.

Here are two great quick commands to get all the information you need for just one user in Active Directory. The username for both will be “JSmith”.

The first command dump’s all the user’s information.

Get-ADUser -Identity JSmith -Properties *

The second command dump’s all the Active Directory Groups the user is a member of.

Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership JSmith
