Precise number of group members in Active Directory

Question

Hi,
I created a group with 100K members for test ( imported users and created group members via batch jobs).
Where can I see the exact members of the group in Active Directory UI? On the group page it shows 999+ members which is now very precise of course.

Thank you,
Evgeniy

Answer 1

Use

(Get-AdGroup -Filter 'Name -eq "<NAME OF GROUP>"' | Get-AdGroupMember).count

This will give you the amount of people in the group. I believe there is a limitation to the Get-ADGroupMember which is around 5000, if you think you will reach this limit please check here:

Use $count as detailed here: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/blogs/build-advanced-queries-with-count-filter-search-and-orderby/
