Domain Enumeration
Domain enumeration is the process of gathering information about a target domain, such as user accounts, group memberships, and computer systems, to identify potential security vulnerabilities.
Using PowerView
PowerView is a PowerShell-based tool that provides a range of functions for performing domain enumeration tasks.
One of its key features is its ability to query the Active Directory (AD) domain for information about user accounts, groups, and computers.

Get current domain
The Get-NetDomain function specifically retrieves information about the domain that the current user is logged into or that is specified as a parameter.
Here's an overview of some of the information that the Get-NetDomain function can retrieve:
Domain Name: The name of the domain.
Domain SID: The security identifier of the domain.
Domain Forest: The name of the forest that the domain is a part of.
Domain Controllers: A list of the domain controllers in the domain, including their names, IP addresses, and operating systems.
Domain Policies: A list of the domain policies that are applied to the domain, including the password policy, account lockout policy, and audit policy.
Domain Trusts: A list of the trusts that the domain has with other domains, including the trust type, direction, and status.
Get the object of another domain
The "Get-NetDomain" function with the "-Domain" parameter is used to retrieve information about a specific domain in a Windows environment.
This command will retrieve information about the "example.com" domain, including its name, SID, domain controllers, domain policies, and domain trusts.
Get Domain SID for the current domain
The "Get-DomainSID" function is a part of the PowerView tool, which is a PowerShell-based tool that provides a range of functions for performing domain enumeration tasks in Windows environments.
The SID is a unique identifier that is assigned to each object in the Windows security database, including domains.
It is often used in access control decisions, so having the SID of a domain can be useful for security assessments and penetration testing engagements.
Get the domain password policy
The "Get-DomainPolicy" function specifically retrieves information about the domain policies that are applied to the current domain or the domain specified as a parameter.
