Michael just looked at that script looks like line 49 the (throw "group must be 
specified"), is throwing an error in pshell. Maybe syntax maybe something 
else.. any ideas?

Subject: [NTSysADM] Get group membership through powershell

I've often used powershell to get the groups that a user is a member of by 
using get-adprincipalgroupmembership.  It's always worked to my knowledge.

However, I've found one group which doesn't show up for anyone - so I was 
curious if anyone has run into this before.  If I run get-adgroupmember for the 
group, everyone shows up who should be there, but if I try to run the reverse 
on any of the users who are a member of the group, it doesn't show up - it just 
returns "domain users".

If I try get-aduser with -properties "memberof", nothing shows up for that 
property at all.  (not even domain users, but I think that's normal?).

If you go into ADUC and look up the user, the two groups (this one, and domain 
users) show up just fine.

Does anyone know of a circumstance why this wouldn't return a value?
