I picked up this command from EE which gives a head count per security group. Does anyone know if the following command will also factor in its count, “group members within sub groups”? Or will it only enumerate the first level of sub groups and their members? or does it keep going as far down the hierarchy as necessary. <br />
<br />
<b>Get-ADGroupMember -Identity &lt;Group&gt; -Recursive | Measure-Object | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Count<br />
</b><br />
<br />
Does anyone know how it could be changed to not only give the count (of total members including sub groups), but also give the details of all members as well (including the sub groups)?
