Finding Windows XP Computer Objects in Active Directory with PowerShell

With PowerShell and the ActiveDirectory module, it is very easy to read out all Windows XP computer objects.

This quickly gives you a list of the “legacy cruft” in your own AD domain.

Import-Module ActiveDirectory
Get-ADComputer -Filter {operatingSystem -eq "Windows XP *" -and enabled -eq $true}

Of course, the “-Filter” parameter can be adapted to any other operating system. If you remove the “-and enabled […]” filter, disabled computer objects are listed as well.
