Test-MtAdUserInContainerCount

SYNOPSIS​

Counts users located in container objects instead of OUs.

SYNTAX​

Test-MtAdUserInContainerCount [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION​

This test identifies user objects whose distinguished name indicates they are stored beneath a container path (CN=) rather than an organizational unit (OU=). Users in default or custom containers can be harder to manage consistently because containers do not support the same delegation and Group Policy design patterns as OUs.
