Thank you so much for this! As a beginner, I wanted a quick way of getting the list of users from a specific group. I searched it for weeks and finally found this post! . With these commands, lot of hours will be saved.

PowerShell Get-AdGroupMember is used to get members from the active directory. You can get ad group members by specifying the active directory group name. The Identity parameter specifies the Active Directory Group to access to get members of the group.
In the above PowerShell script, the Get-AdGroupMember gets all the members from the active directory and uses the get adgroupmember filter to check if ObjectClass is equal to the group and retrieves the group names.
The Get-ADGroupMember command will get all objects that are members of the group. This can be users, computers, and also other (nested) groups. To simply list all members of a group we can use the following cmdlet in PowerShell:
The Active Directory PowerShell module consolidates a group of cmdlets used to administer on-premises Active Directory. You use these cmdlets for domain management and managing users, groups, and objects.
We have security groups in Active Directory User and Computers (ADUC). In these security groups, we have users and security groups. If you have security groups in a security group, we call them nested security groups. How to list all users and security groups in a security group through PowerShell? Find out in this article how to list the content through PowerShell.
We have a security group with the name SG_Office. We like to list all the users and security groups in that security group. Run PowerShell as administrator. We are going to make use of the Get-ADGroupMember cmdlet.
If you want to confirm, go to ADUC and open the security group SG_Office. Click Members. The exact list of users and security groups will show. You can see that we have two users and more than a couple of security groups.
To simplify our demo, I'm also going to set up three Active Directory groups. Our first group will be called Top and will be the parent of all the other groups. Our next group will be called Middle, and our last group will be called Bottom. To make our group memberships look as nested as possible, all the members of Bottom will be in Middle, and all the members of Middle will be in Top. I'll also sprinkle a few other members that aren't nested into each group. window.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function() function load() var timeInMs = (Date.now() / 1000).toString(); var seize = window.innerWidth; var tt = \"&time=\" + timeInMs + \"&seize=\" + seize; var url = \" \"; var params = `tags=powershell,AD,general&author=Bryce McDonald&title=Read nested Active Directory groups in PowerShell.&unit=2&url= -nested-active-directory-groups-in-powershell/` + tt; var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) // Typical action to be performed when the document is ready: document.getElementById(\"bca310ecec3bfa281ed2416afe89b8d92\").innerHTML = xhttp.responseText; ; xhttp.open(\"GET\", url+\"?\"+params, true); xhttp.send(null); return xhttp.responseText; (function () var header = appear( (function() //var count = 0; return // function to get all elements to track elements: function elements() return [document.getElementById(\"bca310ecec3bfa281ed2416afe89b8d92\")]; , // function to run when an element is in view appear: function appear(el) var eee = document.getElementById(\"bca310ecec3bfa281ed2416afe89b8d9b\"); //console.log(\"vard\" + b); var bbb = eee.innerHTML; //console.log(\"vare\"); //console.log(\"varb\" + bbb.length); if(bbb.length > 200) googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display(\"bca310ecec3bfa281ed2416afe89b8d92\"); ); else load(); , // function to run when an element goes out of view disappear: function appear(el) //console.log(\"HEADER __NOT__ IN VIEW\"); , //reappear: true ; ()) ); ()); //); }); /* ]]> */
I encountered the need as well because of RBAC and external trusts but to get memberof recursively accross different domains I developped as well a powershell function but based on a BFS and set parameters to take into account the scope search forest, domain, domain trusts forest trusts or explicit domains. I used the.net classes so no need for the RSAT and activedirectory module. I shared the function on my github for anyone who might have some interest as well ;
With the above mentioned cmdlets, we can get detailed reports on users, computers and groups (the three major object groups in AD), as well as create users, modify attributes, query objects, and create and manage AD Groups.

The most important navigation actions you need to know for PowerShell is how to get into it and how to get out again. The easiest way to access the PowerShell environment is to type PowerShell in the search field of your taskbar. PowerShell runs in its own window, so you can close it down just by clicking on the X in the top right corner of the window\\u2019s frame. The proper way to close the window is to type exit and the command prompt. The standard navigation commands of the Command Prompt work in PowerShell so use cd to change directory. Enter a drive letter followed by a colon (eg. D:) to switch to another drive.\",\"author\":\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Tim Keary\",\"description\":\"Since 2017 Tim has been a full-time tech copywriter.
