For example, from a cmd.exe prompt: echo "<distinguishedNameForTheGroupYouAreLookingAt>" | dsget group -members -expand From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Heaton, Joseph@Wildlife Sent: Thursday, June 9, 2016 7:55 am To: scripting@lists.myitforum.com Subject: RE: [scripting] Simple query timing out Only a couple hundred members.

Here's my command: Get-AdGroupMember -Identity "ProjectTracking_Users" | Select Name | export-csv c:\tracking.csv -NoTypeInfo When I run this, it ends up timing out with this: Get-ADGroupMember : The operation returned because the timeout limit was exceeded.

Any Ideas?
