PowerShell: Get a List of AD Groups a specific user is a member of

by Samuel Mitchell, posted in Microsoft, windows, Windows server

Powershell is very versatile and with this wonderful tool, I will share how to get the subject result.

There are two ways of doing this:

  1. Using the cmdlet

Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership [username] | Format-Table Name -AutoSize

I used the cmdlet with Format-table to output property Name in a table format

2. Using the cmdlet

Get-ADUser [username] -Properties memberof | Select -ExpandProperty memberof | Get-ADGroup | Format-Table Name -AutoSize

I used the additional parameter -Properties to get the variable MemberOf then use the Select cmdlet to expand the array then pipe it to the Get-ADGroup to get the name of group to list it in a table format.
