Scenario/Problem: You need to retrieve managed accounts on the farm.

Solution: Use the Get-SPManagedAccount cmdlet.

Issuing the Get-SPManagedAccount cmdlet without any parameters displays all managed accounts on the SharePoint farm. To retrieve a specific managed account, you can use the account name, as shown in Listing 4.8.
