description:
The following analytic detects the execution of the `Get-AdComputer`
PowerShell commandlet using PowerShell Script Block Logging (EventCode=4104). This
detection leverages script block text to identify when this commandlet is run. The
`Get-AdComputer` commandlet is significant as it can be used by adversaries to enumerate
all domain computers, aiding in situational awareness and Active Directory discovery.
If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow attackers to map the network,
identify targets, and plan further attacks, potentially leading to unauthorized
access and data exfiltration.

how_to_implement:
To successfully implement this analytic, you will need to enable
PowerShell Script Block Logging on some or all endpoints. Additional setup here
