Yesterday, I needed to quickly list all the names of all the Domain Controllers in the AD Domain and the total count. Fortunately, the following Powershell cmdlet saved me a lot of time and I wanted to share it with you.
First of all, you need to make sure that the following module is loaded in order to use the cmdlet that meets our needs.
