NAME Get-LogonCache



SYNOPSIS

Returns the Active Directory account names that are stored in this computer's logon cache.





SYNTAX

Get-LogonCache [[-Invalid] <Boolean>] [[-LookupDomain] <String>] [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

The Get-LogonCache function looks at the registry of the local computer to find what (if any) domain logons are

stored in the logon cache, and what time they were last cached.

The relative account IDs (RIDs) returned may be translated into account names by specifying a -LookupDomain .





PARAMETERS

-Invalid <Boolean>

Cache slots that are empty or marked as Invalid can be returned with -Invalid $true. Invalid entries are not

"seen" by winlogon and might as well not exist, but can sometimes contain interesting vestigial information.

NOTES





(c) 2016 Collective Software, LLC



You need to run this function as a member of the local Administrators group, in order to be allowed to see the

registry key where logon cache items are stored.



Technical Note: During normal operation, only the SYSTEM user has the right to read this key. This command

momentarily grants Administrators the right to read the key if necessary.



Known Limitation: This command does not decrypt the logon cache, so it cannot see the true domain associated

with each RID. This is why you must specify a -LookupDomain .
