Looking for a PowerShell script to find in use account

I am looking for a PowerShell script that would search every PC in our domain that is using our service account to run a service. Is that possible?

You can also check the Script Center to see if someone has already written one: https://community.spiceworks.com/scripts

You did not specify outputs … are you looking for a list of host + service name pairs? Or just host names? Anyway the place to start is:

Get-CimInstance -ClassName win32_service -ComputerName theremotecomputername

That command will query the remote computer for a list of its configured services. The property you are looking for is (cryptically) called “StartName” … that is the logon account the service runs under. This assumes WMI subsystem is set up on the remote computer and Windows firewall there will allow the traffic in.
