Win Powershell get list of active local users - powershell

Question

I want to get the list of active local users on the windows server. When I do Get-LocalUser, I get following output
Name Enabled Description
---- ------- -----------
DefaultAccount False A user account managed by the system.
Guest False Built-in account for guest access to the computer/domain
labadmin True Built-in account for administering the computer/domain
Test True
WDAGUtilityAccount False A user account managed and used by the system for Windows Defender Application Guard scen...
I tried GetLocalUser -Enabled True and got following error
Get-LocalUser : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Enabled'.
At line:1 char:79
+ ... ng = New-Object Text.UTF8Encoding $false; Get-LocalUser -Enabled True
+ ~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Get-LocalUser], ParameterBindingException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetLocalUserCommandnon-zero return code
What is the correct parameter to filter out the disabled users?

Answer 1

Get-Help -Name "Get-LocalUser" (also written help get-localuser) will show you that the only available parameters are:
SYNTAX
Get-LocalUser [[-Name] <String[]>] [<CommonParameters>]
Get-LocalUser [[-SID] <SecurityIdentifier[]>] [<CommonParameters>]
And there is no parameter to filter on the enabled users. You need to get the results back, then filter afterwards. From the results in your question, the Enabled column shows you that the user objects probably have a property called Enabled which you can check for the filtering:
$users = Get-LocalUser
$enabledUsers = $users | Where-Object { $_.Enabled }
If you did not know that, or that did not work because the column name is not exactly the same as the property name, you could run $users | Get-Member to see what properties the user objects have, and then look through them for ones to check. Enabled is shown in the result:
