Single computerStep 1: Open PowerShell as Administrator.Step 2: Copy and paste the command below. Change pc3 to your computers hostname.get-wmiobject win32_service -comp pc3 | select name, status, startnameThis command will group the services by the startname, I think it makes it easier to read and get an overview of which accounts are running the service.If you don’t want to group the results, use this command. get-wmiobject win32_service -comp pc3 | select name, status, startnameTo search for a specific account use this command. I’m doing a wildcard search for service accounts running as a domain user. get-wmiobject win32_service -comp pc3 -filter "startname like '%activedirectory%'" | select name, status, startnameTips to Find on-premises service accountsIn this tutorial, I’ve been referring to service accounts as normal domain user accounts. In this scenario, there is no easy way to list all service accounts unless you have documented or implemented a naming convention for them. Below is what Microsoft says about on-premises service accounts. We recommend that you add a prefix such as “svc-” to all accounts that you use as service accounts. This naming convention will make the accounts easier to find and manage. Also consider using a description attribute for the service account and the owner of the service account. The description can be a team alias or security team owner. addition to adding a prefix, I would create an OU just for service accounts. You may have existing service accounts that you cannot add a prefix to, so by putting them all into an OU you can easily list all service accounts in Active Directory. Another option to list all service accounts, is to check the local policy settings. When an account is configured to run as a service, the account will be granted log on as a service rights.You would need to open the local group policy on each system and check the user rights assignment. Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment – > Log on as a service.You can see above, I have two domain accounts that have been granted the log on as a service right. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to query this on all computers. It would be easier to use the service accounts report tool or PowerShell to query all computers. ConclusionIn this tutorial, I showed you two methods for finding where service accounts are being used. By using PowerShell you can easily list all the service accounts on a single computer, but it is challenging for multiple computers. To easily scan all computers I recommend using the service accounts reporting tool from the AD Pro Toolkit. This GUI tool lets you query all computers for
