PowerShell: Export Active Directory Group Members

Query and save members of Active Directory groups. In this case, this is just looking for names of users, but other meta data can be queried as well.

Verify module(s) in AD

Verify that the Active Directory module is installed in PowerShell

Get-Module -ListAvailable

Verify you can find the AD Group

Get-ADGroup -filter * | sort name | select name

The output of the above command will list all Groups within Active Directory. Verify that the group you need to query is in this list.

Export List of AD Group Members

Get-ADGroupMember -identity "Name of Group" | select name | Export-csv -path C:\name of path.csv

Quotes are required around the group name as the names often contain spaces.

The file does not need to exist in the path for it to save; it will be created at time of processing.
