Import-Module ActiveDirectory

function Get-AllDCsInForest{

foreach($Domain in $ForestObj.Domains) {
    Get-ADDomainController -Filter * -Server $Domain | select Domain,HostName,Site, IPv4Address, OperatingSystem, OperatingSystemVersion
     
}
 
}

Get-AllDCsInForest| Export-Csv -Path C:\Scripts\AllDcs.txt -NoTypeInformation

Import-Module ActiveDirectory

function Get-AllDCsInForest{

param(

[string]$ReferenceDomain = $env:USERDOMAIN

)

$ForestObj = Get-ADForest -Server $ReferenceDomain

foreach($Domain in $ForestObj.Domains) {

Get-ADDomainController -Filter * -Server $Domain | select Domain,HostName,Site, IPv4Address, OperatingSystem, OperatingSystemVersion

}

Get-AllDCsInForest| Export-Csv -Path C:\Scripts\AllDcs.txt -NoTypeInformation
