Try this:<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-43010036-1"><span>$adUser = Get-ADUser jdoe -Properties memberOf</span>
<span>$remove = $adUser |</span>
<span>	Select-Object -ExpandProperty memberOf |</span>
<span>	Get-ADObject -Property groupType |</span>
<span>	Where-Object {2, 4, 8 -contains $_.groupType} |</span>
<span>	Select-Object -ExpandProperty DistinguishedName</span>
<span>If ($remove) {Remove-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -Identity $adUser -MemberOf $remove}</span>
</code></pre>
</div>


<div>
So if the use is j.bloggs then the script to execute is as per below in its entirety ? and this removes the user from all the 'distribution groups' ?<br />
<br />
$adUser = Get-ADUser j.bloggs -Properties memberOf<br />
$remove = $adUser |<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Select-Object -ExpandProperty memberOf |<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Get-ADObject -Property groupType |<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Where-Object {2, 4, 8 -contains $_.groupType} |<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Select-Object -ExpandProperty DistinguishedName<br />
If ($remove) {Remove-ADPrincipalGroupMe<wbr />mbership -Identity $adUser -MemberOf $remove}
</div>
