How do you find users who are members of a group in AD Active Directory.

Create a PowerShell script.

1. start PowerShell ( as administrator )
2. create directory : mkdir “name of te new directoy”
3. cd “name of te new directoy”
4. new-item Get-ADGroupMember-script.ps1
5. notepad.exe  Get-ADGroupMember-script.ps1
6. copy and paste the text in to the file:

#################################################################

$name = Read-Host 'Enter the group you want to view the members of'

Get-ADGroupMember -Identity ${name} -Recursive | select Name, objectclass

  # -Recursive # With this option you can see the members who are member of the first group! This will show you the users from the subgroep check example.

  #  Note: Run this on a ( domain controller / member server / computer with RSAT )

#################################################################

7. start the command:  .\Get-ADGroupMember-script.ps1

8.  when using Active Directory:

When starting this script without the option : -Recursive

###########################################################

$name = Read-Host 'Enter the group you want to view the members of'

Get-ADGroupMember -Identity ${name} | select Name, objectclass


  # -Recursive # With this option you can see the members who are member of the first group! This will show you the users from the subgroep check example.

  #  Note: Run this on a ( domain controller / member server / computer with RSAT )

#################################################################

You will see the nested group: subgroep  who is member of the testgroep. You can't see the users at this moment who are member of the subgroep.
