Here’s an example of a PowerShell script that you can use to analyze security issues with Active Directory:

# Import the Active Directory module
Import-Module ActiveDirectory

# Get all users in the AD
$users = Get-ADUser -Filter *

# Check for users with empty passwords
$emptyPasswords = $users | Where-Object {$_.PasswordNeverExpires -eq $true -and $_.PasswordExpired -eq $false}
Write-Host "Users with empty passwords:"
Write-Host $emptyPasswords

# Check for users with passwords that never expire
$noExpiration = $users | Where-Object {$_.PasswordNeverExpires -eq $true}
Write-Host "Users with passwords that never expire:"
Write-Host $noExpiration

# Check for users with expired passwords
$expiredPasswords = $users | Where-Object {$_.PasswordExpired -eq $true}
Write-Host "Users with expired passwords:"
Write-Host $expiredPasswords

# Check for users with weak passwords
$weakPasswords = $users | Where-Object {$_.PasswordAge -gt 90}
Write-Host "Users with weak passwords:"
Write-Host $weakPasswords

# Check for disabled users
$disabledUsers = $users | Where-Object {$_.Enabled -eq $false}
Write-Host "Disabled users:"
Write-Host $disabledUsers

# Check for locked-out users
$lockedOutUsers = $users | Where-Object {$_.LockedOut -eq $true}
Write-Host "Locked-out users:"
Write-Host $lockedOutUsers

# Check for stale/old accounts
$staleAccounts = $users | Where-Object {$_.LastLogonDate -lt (Get-Date).AddDays(-90)}
Write-Host "Stale/old accounts:"
Write-Host $staleAccounts

This script will check for several common security issues with Active Directory, such as:

  • Users with empty passwords
  • Users with passwords that never expire
  • Users with expired passwords
  • Users with weak passwords
  • Disabled users
  • Locked-out users
  • Stale/old accounts

It will return the list of users that match each condition, so you can take the necessary actions.

Note that this script is just a basic example, you can customize and add more checks to it based on your organization’s requirements and best practices.
