Hi @jcasale , you are doing several mistakes here:
You have copied the initial database (template used by DC installer), which only contains the schema, but no user accounts. The database you are looking for is located in the C:\Windows\NTDS directory by default.
You are not copying the corresponding transaction log files.
If you are on a DC, create an IFM backup instead of a plain volume shadow copy.
I am using a fully patched version of Windows Server 2022 (10.0.20348.1607), PowerShell 5.1, and DSInternals v4.9.
I am not getting any output or any errors when running
Get-ADDBAccount
against a copy of the ntds.dit file.The procedure I am using is:
There is no output nor any error produced by the cmdlet, any ideas as to what I can check?
