Answer 1

Assuming you're looking only for groups that are direct members of the target group (and not members of groups that are direct member of the target group), this should get you started:

Get-ADGroup groupx -property member |
    ForEach-Object{
        $x = Get-ADObject $_.distinguishedName
        if ($x.objectClass -eq 'group'){
            $x.name
        }
    }

Answer 2

Hello,

With this script you can get and export the group memberships to an AD Group:

Get-ADGroupMember -Identity <groupname> | Select-Object name, objectClass,distinguishedName | Export-CSV -Path “adgroupmembers.csv”
