Seeing your Active Directory Tombstone Period with PowerShell

Filed Under (Active Directory, PowerShell, Windows Server 2008 R2) by on 05-07-2010

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.
