joe... there are only a very few that know what the APIs they are
calling "REALLY" do. They can speculate, but unless you have source code
access and the ability to comb through 1000s of sources files there is a
point at which you need to trust.
Everyone that use adfind.exe has to place some level of trust in you.
AFAIK... your the only one with the source. Are you suggesting that
everyone stop using adfind.exe because they dont know how it works?
RE: What I posted. We have discuss this before. The impression the OP
gave was that he just wanted the information. I posted how I knew he
could it do it. End of story. Had he suggested this is something to be
ran regularly then performance would have been a consideration.

Kind of scary that you don't have an understanding of what your
script is doing... What if you had a couple hundred or even a couple
thousand DCs, you would have no clue how it would perform or what the
possible issues might be that it runs into. I am being serious.

@joe, I dont think anyone would suggest that you perl script
wouldn't be, as you put it "orders of magnitude" faster. Just more
complex than needed  by the time you posted it the powershell script
was done.
To be clear here... I am not entirely sure how the .NET call
actually works. It may very due what you suggest, but I am not certain.

Out of curiosity, how much faster was the perl script? I am
wondering if it hit the orders of magnitude prediction.

Well, when you have some sites which work on their own IT
schedule, it can be tough to keep up. Especially in a forest with over
15 domains and 50 domain controllers.
BTW, the powershell command worked great!

The OP will still have less domains than DCs.
Personally I'd step back a step and inquire why the OP doesn't
know these details already. I'd also be collecitng it from the boxes
directly along with all the other pertinent information I'm guessing is
not there since this data isn't.
Thanks,

Why? This data is in the directory, no need to go touch every DC
which would take likely minutes instead of seconds.
Run this against every domain (replacing the -b switch as
necessary)
adfind -b dc=domain,dc=com -f
"&(objectcategory=computer)(primarygroupid=516)" operatingsystem
operatingsystemversion operatingsystemservicepack -csv

I use domainControllerFunctionality on rootDSE, but that
involves minor scripting.
