How to get the AD user group membership details at once

Question

_{Friday, February 16, 2018 11:41 AM}

Hi,

How do I get the user's AD group membership details & if possible then I wish to send them an email too.

There is a PS command Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership Username | Select Name 

But it will be very tedious to manually run it for n.. of users.

A good place to start would be to learn PowerShell as this is a fairly simple task. Please note that this forum wont write a script for you, let us know what you have tried so far and what specific issues you are having.

Start by learning the foreach command.

Hi,

Do you need a script that loops throu an OU and writes/mails the users in the OU their membership?

Get-AdUser -Filter * | Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership | Select Name

Please take the time to learn PowerShell.   Your question is answered in one of the very first chapters of most tutorials.

If you want pre-written scripts look in the Gallery.  For script requests use the link below:

Import-Module ActiveDirectory
$users = Get-ADUser -SearchBase "OU=Users,OU=whatever,DC=domain,DC=local" -Filter * 
$logfile = "C:\output.txt"

foreach($user in $users){
  add-content $logfile $user.Name
  $groups = Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership $user.SamAccountName 
  foreach($group in $groups){
    add-content $logfile $group.name
  }
}

to start :-)

You don't need to import the Active Directory module. It will do this automatically.
