List SOME members (which are ADGroups) of the "master" ADGroup-CodePudding

I have a "Parent" ADGroup (ADParent) which has multiple ADGroups as members (ADChild1, ADChild2).

I would like to list all ADChilds for the ADParent but filter keep only the ADChild with name containing "1"

This will list ALL members:

Get-AdGroupMember ADParent | select Name

This does not work:

Get-AdGroupMember ADParent | select Name | -Filter Name -like "1"

Any suggestions?

CodePudding user response：

Use the Where-Object cmdlet to filter a stream of output from another cmdlet:

Get-ADGroupMember ADParent |Where-Object Name -like '*1*' |Select Name

Another alternative querying AD for groups where their MemberOf property contains the parent group:

$parentDN = (Get-ADGroup ParentGroup).DistinguishedName
Get-ADGroup -LDAPFilter "(&(Name=*1*)(MemberOf=$parentDN))" | Select-Object Name
