Creating a list of users from remote machines - One source?

$

To get a list of users on select/all remote machines, do I have to use a combination of WMI/ADSI?  WMI might? be easier, but to get the same properties you usually see when looking at AD accounts, it doesn't seem like it's as easy as I thought it was.  You guys have helped me a lot on several other scripts that are similar. 

I'm sure once I get near done with this one, the requirements will change.  Anyway..

I'm looking to build a script that will return:  ComputerName,UserName,Disabled,Lastlogon,PasswordLastSet,UserMustChangePassword/PasswordExpired,PasswordExpires.

In WMI, only some of the info is returned in Win32_Account, Win32_UserAccount, Win32_GroupUser.  I don't see the UserMustChangePassword flag translated in either of these, so is probably only accessible through something like

$ADS_UF_PASSWORD_EXPIRED                         = 8388608

$user=[ADSI]"WinNT://$computer/$username,user"

$user.userflags -band $ADS_UF_PASSWORD_EXPIRED

Right now, there isn't a requirement for group membership, so I won't address that here at this time.  We have 8 domains, a couple of which have over 2000 client computers.  (I don't think management understands how big these reports could be.)

 

Am I on the right track?  As always, I'm thinking 'out loud'.  Feel free to chime in.
