So that means the group doesn't exist. Can you confirm that it does.

I just did the same command with one of our groups and it worked as expected with -

Get-ADGroupMember "GroupName"

damn it-
I did that and it errored. Copy yours and it works... (grumbles at keyboard)

Yes, group exists

gjacobse

so Now all I need is a single line from it (Name) not the full list... is that a filter?

Did you do

Import-Module ActiveDirectory

?

One of my major pain-points with PowerShell. Why does every module have to be manually loaded. It's not like you have to load them into memory until it's actually needed.

My issue with Powershell is... Well Powershell..

Ha! PowerShell is so close to being good. They got command completion down, and actually working with it once you get it to the point where it's helpful is normally quite good. It's the setup that really kinda sucks.

Finds it

Get-ADGroupMember "GroupName" -recursive | select name, objectclass

The new PowerShell core seems to auto import modules when you use a command from them.

Glad you got it. Was the recursive flag required?

The -recursive flag handles nested groups. This is a handy feature.

If you wanted stuff like that, you'd be using BASH.

Whenever I'm given the choice, BASH, zsh, etc, all better than PowerShell.

No anymore, those are on old OS...

Found this also:

get-adgroup -filter * | sort name | select Name

Not being one to script,.. can this be used to place the result in an array and then pull a list of users from each, and export to csv?

Seems like it should be - simple - but while I can see it, and can't get there.
