I am trying to check members under a group in Server Manager in Windows 2008 R2 using Powershell. For this I used  
#AD Drive not created through the below step  
$Env:ADPS\_LoadDefaultDrive = 0  
#Module imported  
Import-Module ActiveDirectory  
#Get list of groupmembers  
Get-ADGroupMember -identity “Administrators” | select name | Export-csv -path C:\Groupmembers.csv -NoTypeInformation

Hi Shanthi,

1. have you opened your powershell with administrative credentials (Run as Administrator)
2. you can use -credential to specify credential to get the information.
