Powershell script to get all group membership(UG or DL) and remove that user only to that group

Copper Contributor

Hi,

 

May I ask for your assistance to edit this script from Microsoft instead of checking every group that a user is member of maybe I could use the variable $filter in removing the user also?

 

Best Regards,

You can combine the two scripts as follows. Here you search the groups where the user is member and then removes the user from those groups.

 

$email= read-host -prompt "user@domain.com"
$Mailbox=get-Mailbox $email
$DN=$mailbox.DistinguishedName
$Filter = "Members -like ""$DN"""
Get-DistributionGroup -ResultSize Unlimited -Filter $Filter | %{Remove-DistributionGroupMember -identity $_.name -Member $email -confirm:$false}
Get-UnifiedGroup -ResultSize Unlimited -Filter $Filter | %{Remove-UnifiedGroupLinks -Identity $_.name -LinkType Members -Links $email -Confirm:$false}

 

Hi Nestori,

How can I export the membership first so that I have backup for evidence before we removed it?

For that scenario, use the first script as-is: it will save the groups in two csv files.

 

The you can simply read the files and delete user from those groups. The script below should do the trick, but I didn't had time to test it.

$email= read-host -prompt "user@domain.com"
Import-CSV "C:\Scripts\TestDL.csv" | %{Remove-DistributionGroupMember -identity $_.name -Member $email -confirm:$false}
Import-CSV "C:\Scripts\TestUG.csv" | %{Remove-UnifiedGroupLinks -Identity $_.name -LinkType Members -Links $email -Confirm:$false}

 

I just recently published a script that does just that: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Remove-user-from-all-8d44f772?redir=0

 

Use it with the -Verbose and -WhatIf parameter first to preview the exact changes that will be made, once you are satisfied with the results run it for real.

Hi Nestori,

 

Tried this but seem it doesn't work, I like this code as it is simple.

Hi Mark,

 

Did you got some error message? You need to connect to Exchange Online before running the script (see for example http://o365blog.com/powershell)
