Seeing your Active Directory Tombstone Period with PowerShell

Tip of the day today is to view your Active Directory Tombstone period while using PowerShell

1. From a PowerShell prompt, type
2. (get-adobject "cn=Directory Service,cn=Windows NT,cn=Services,cn=Configuration,dc=AdminPrep,DC=Local" -properties "tombstonelifetime").tombstonelifetime

The result shows up in days…very cool. 

Just make sure to change dc=AdminPrep,DC=Local to match your domain.
