Even as admin it did take quite a while to finish. Personally I'd use: Net group /domain groupname and pipe it to a file. That does however push a 3 column output list so that may not work for what you're doing.

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.
