A few days ago I posted some PowerShell code that you could use to be alerted when things changed in
Active Directory. The code used PowerShell and CIM events to notify you, for example, when a new user account is created. This can be helpful when you need alerting. But perhaps you only need reporting. What has changed in Active Directory since a given date and time, such as in the last 24 hours? And wouldn't it be nice to have a pretty report? Let me help. Here's how I approached the prob lem using PowerShell and the ActiveDirectory module.

Windows has the concept of the recycle bin, from which you can restore files you have deleted. You
might want to clear the Windows recycle bin from time to time, to remove unnecessary files and free up space. You can do that using the Windows user interface, or you can empty the Windows recycle bin using PowerShell. The Clear-RecycleBin is a simple PowerShell cmdlet, which removes the file from the Windows recycle bin.
