Tip shows you can get a list of FGPP (Fine Grained Password Policies) configured in an Active Directory Domain.

FGPP or Fine Grained Password Policies can be configured to apply multiple account policies in an Active Directory Domain. You can get a list of all FGPP that you have configured in an Active Directory by executing the below command:

  • Get-ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy -Filter {Name -like "*"} | FT Name, Precedence, MaxPasswordAge, MinPasswordLength -A

Above command gets all FGPP configured in the current domain and shows their name, precedence, Maximum Password Age set, and MinimumPassword Length in a table.
