How to get all groups that a user is a member of?

Question

PowerShell\'s Get-ADGroupMember cmdlet returns members of a specific group. Is there a cmdlet or property to get all the groups that a particular user is a member of?

Answer 1

Get-Member is not for getting user's group membership. If you want to get a list of groups a user belongs to on the local system, you can do so by:

$query = "ASSOCIATORS OF {Win32_Account.Name='DemoUser1',Domain='DomainName'} WHERE ResultRole=GroupComponent ResultClass=Win32_Account"

Get-WMIObject -Query $query | Select Name

In the above query, replace DemoUser1 with the username you want and the DomainName with either your local computer name or domain name.
