How to get the Group Types for the groups present in Entra ID like Microsoft 365, Security using Powershell script

Question

I am getting the below result when checking for a Security group using Mggraph command.

Is there any script with which we can download all the groups in the tenant in the EntraID with the group type defined respectively for all types of groups like Mail enabled security, Microsoft 365, Distribution, Security etc... Appreciate if someone can share any script on this

Hello MURALIDHAR,

To get the Group Types for the groups present in Entra ID like Microsoft 365, Security using Powershell script make use of below PowerShell script:

$groupId = "GroupID"

$g = Get-MgGroup -GroupId $groupId

if ($g.GroupTypes -contains "Unified") {

    $type = "Microsoft 365"

}

elseif ($g.MailEnabled -eq $true -and $g.SecurityEnabled -eq $true) {

    $type = "Mail-enabled Security"

}

elseif ($g.MailEnabled -eq $true -and $g.SecurityEnabled -eq $false) {

    $type = "Distribution"

}

else {

    $type = "Security"

}

$g | Select DisplayName, Mail, MailEnabled, SecurityEnabled, GroupTypes, @{Name="GroupType";Expression={$type}}

To iterate through all groups, use below script:

Connect-MgGraph -Scopes "Group.Read.All"

$groups = Get-MgGroup -All

$results = foreach ($g in $groups) {

    if ($g.GroupTypes -contains "Unified") {

        $type = "Microsoft 365"

    }

    elseif ($g.MailEnabled -eq $true -and $g.SecurityEnabled -eq $true) {

        $type = "Mail-enabled Security"

    }

    elseif ($g.MailEnabled -eq $true -and $g.SecurityEnabled -eq $false) {

        $type = "Distribution"

    }

    else {

        $type = "Security"

    }

    [PSCustomObject]@{

        DisplayName      = $g.DisplayName

        Mail             = $g.Mail

        MailEnabled      = $g.MailEnabled

        SecurityEnabled  = $g.SecurityEnabled

        GroupTypes       = if ($g.GroupTypes) { $g.GroupTypes -join "," } else { "" }

        GroupType        = $type

        Id               = $g.Id

    }

}

$results | Sort-Object DisplayName | Format-Table -AutoSize

Hope this helps!
