need a script to export out all Distro groups and members from office 365

can someone provide a script that will output all Distro groups and members from O365 in this format:

Member                                 Group
User1                                      distro group 1
User2                                      distro group 1
User3                                      distro group 1
User1                                      distro group 2
User3                                      distro group 2
User5                                      distro group 2
User1                                      distro group 3
User6                                      distro group 3

Here you go:

$list = Get-DistributionGroup -ResultSize Unlimited
$arrMsolUserData = @()

foreach ($DGName in $list) {
	$objProperties = New-Object PSObject

	$users = Get-DistributionGroupMember -Identity $DGName.PrimarySmtpAddress

   	Add-Member -InputObject $objProperties -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "PrimarySmtpAddress" -Value $DGName.PrimarySmtpAddress

   	$arrUsers = @()
    if ($users -ne $null) {
        foreach ($user in $users) {
            $arrUsers = ([string]::Join($(get-user $user.SamAccountName).UserPrincipalName,",",$arrUsers))
            }
        Add-Member -InputObject $objProperties -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Members" -Value $arrUsers.TrimStart(",")
        }
    else {Add-Member -InputObject $objProperties -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Members" -Value ""}
 	
	$arrMsolUserData += $objProperties
}

$arrMsolUserData | Export-Csv -Path "C:\DGMembers.csv" -NoTypeInformation

Open in new window



It will return empty groups as well. Might be a bit slow as I use UserPrincipalName as the identifier for each member, and it's calling get-user to get it. This is done because you can add non mail-enabled user to a DG as well. If you are only interested in returning mail enabled ones, it can run much faster, just replace 

$(get-user $user.SamAccountName).UserPrincipalName

Open in new window

with 
$user.PrimarySmtpAddress
