Nested AD group member more than 5000 users

GoodResource 391

Hi,

I am trying to export a group with nested groups having total members more than 5000 users. I understand the get-adgroupmember more than users and alternate is to use get-adgroup instead of get-adgroupmember. However for get-adgroupmember i can user "-recursive" to get nested group members. How can i use the same for get-adgroup to get all members of parent and nested groups.

I am writing a script which will then compare with another security group and will output if any member matches on both the list.

@Anonymous Thanks! the link actually helped to get my script working. I put all groups in a variable and then foreach ($group in $groups) logic and then did get-adgroup and piped to get-adobject instead of get-aduser.
