You can use `Out-GridView` as a gui to display and select multiple users.

```
Get-ADGroupMember -Identity group1 |Out-GridView -Passthru -OutputMode Multiple
```

Sort-Object | 
Out-GridView -Title 'Select a group' -PassThru)).Name | 
Out-GridView -Title 'Select member name(s)' -OutputMode Multiple
```

The write whatever code you want to process that return.
