Is there some common attribute for the groups that can be used to extract them so that you do not need to list them out individually?<br />
For example, is there a word or phrase in the group name? Something else?

If you have a file (one group name per line), you can use something like this:<br />

<pre><code class="code-10 nolinks" id="code-20-42736955-1"><span>$properties = 'SamAccountName', 'Name', 'DisplayName', 'GivenName', 'Surname', 'Mail'</span>
<span>$inFile = 'C:\Temp\groups.txt'</span>
<span>$outFile = 'C:\Temp\output.csv'</span>
<span>Get-Content -Path  | ForEach-Object {</span>
<span>	$group = Get-ADGroup -Identity $_</span>
<span>	$group | Get-ADGroupMember |</span>
<span>		Where-Object {$_.objectClass -eq 'User'} |</span>
<span>		Get-ADUser -Properties $properties |</span>
<span>		Select-Object -Property (@(@{n='GroupName'; e={$group.Name}}) + $properties)</span>
<span>} | Export-Csv -Path $outFile -NoTypeInformation</span>
</code></pre>
</div>

I put in the correct path and it still does not work

<div>
Sorry, but &quot;<i>still does not work</i>&quot; is not enough information to help you.<br />
I copied and repasted the script from here, and it works just fine.<br />
What is the error you're getting, or what expected you to work differently?
