• Name: users_everywhere
• Designer: Nando
• Category: Windows
• Description: You had an implant on a Windows DC for quite some time. Up until recent, there where only a few domain user accounts in the domain and now there are many more. The more expereinced person on your team inquired about the total number of users to which you said "there are a ton". Sadly enough, the other person doesn't like that as a number and needs the actual number. Determine the total number of users and submit it.

Tested using the DC built by Lee Unrein (@Rein4Ever) available at: https://drive.google.com/open?id=19CyAlU8bX239SjfvWtSyNUVreF9esnAs. Using both Nando's (@WiredPulse) Powershell solution [ (get-aduser -filter *).count ] or old-school using [ dsquery users -limit 9999 | find /c /v "" ], the result is 977 vs 973 (from Nando's walkthrough). This is probably a 2, only because it takes a bit of AD knowledge to be efficient at researching the various techniques. Also, for mentors, the Virtualbox setting for "EFI enabled" resolved fatal boot errors on my host machine.
