Hello Everyone,
I am trying to get a list of all members of several groups from within AD, and am really having a hard time wrapping my brain around this. I am also trying really hard to try and figure it out on my own, without stealing…I mean re purposing anyone else’s work that I can find on the internet - I want to LEARN this, but additionally, nothing that I can find will do exactly what I want anyway. The goal here is to product a nice looking HTML-based report using the EnhancedHTML2 Module.
Here is my problem: I have gotten to the point where I can either get the list of groups from a specific OU using
Get-ADGroup -Filter * -SearchBase “OU=Exmaple,DC=domain,DC=DCThings” -Properties name | Select name
Which works, and lists the groups, but if I try to add a Foreach statement below it, such as
$adgroup = get-adgroup -Filter * -SearchBase "OU=OUThings,OU=OtherOUThings,OU=Companies,DC=Domain,DC=local" -Properties name
Foreach ($group in $adgroup){
Get-ADGroupMember $group | select name
}
All I get is a list of the people who are actually in the group, but the group names disappear.
I did find one solution that used a hash table, but that didn’t present the data in the way I would like. It gave me something along the lines of:
Group1 Name1
Group1 Name2
Group1 Name3
Group2 Name1
Group3 Name1
Group3 Name2
Group3 Name3
Instead, I’m looking for something along the lines of:
Group1
Name1
Name2
Name3
Group2
Name1
Name2
Name3
Etc.
What I would like help with, is just direction on how I can accomplish this, I’m not looking for someone to do my work for me and write all of the code (although some examples might help).
Any insight that can be given would really be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
