Answer 1

Hi @Roger Roger ,

The Get-ADGroupMember cmdlet will pull the member users of the nested groups as well when the "-Recursive" switch is used.

-Recursive
Specifies that the cmdlet get all members in the hierarchy of a group that do not contain child objects.

The below help document can be helpful.
