    Ajay_Kumar_Ghose You could use this:

     

    Get-ADUser -LDAPFilter "(&(objectCategory=user)(memberof=CN=groupname,OU=Groups,OU=Corp,DC=test,DC=distinguished,DC=local))"

     

    Put that in in variable and test against that

        From Harm_Veenstra's example, change:

         

        objectCategory=user

         

        To:

         

        objectCategory=person

         

        Or just leave out the "(objectCategory=user)" altogether.

         

        Cheers,

        Lain
