API Reference
Command
Get-ADXGroupMember
Resolves group members with robust recursion, cycle detection, and flexible output views. Supports inline set operations (Union/Intersection/Differences) across multiple groups.
Examples
Example 1: Detailed (rich) view with nesting path
Get-ADXGroupMember 'Domain Admins' -View Detailed | Select Name,Type,DomainName,Enabled,Path
Example 2: Only users and computers (compact)
Get-ADXGroupMember 'DNSAdmins' -View Compact -IncludeType Users,Computers
Example 3: Union across groups (inline set operation)
Get-ADXGroupMember 'Domain Admins','Enterprise Admins' -Operation Union -View Detailed
Example 4: Hierarchy view
Get-ADXGroupMember 'Domain Admins' -View Hierarchy -Flatten:$false
Common Parameters
This command supports the common parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -InformationAction, -InformationVariable, -OutVariable, -OutBuffer, -PipelineVariable, -Verbose, -WarningAction, and -WarningVariable.

- GroupsOnly SwitchParameter
- Convenience switch equal to -IncludeType Groups.
- HideProcessed SwitchParameter
- Hide repeated groups that were already expanded earlier in tree output.
- IncludeTrustedDomains SwitchParameter
- Includes trusted domains when using forest-based scopes for identity resolution.

- Possible values:
All,Users,Groups,Computers,Contacts,ForeignSecurityPrincipals - MaxCacheSize int
- Maximum cache size used by resolver.

CurrentDomain,Forest,TrustedForests,ExplicitDomains - Server string
- Optional domain controller (server) to target.
- ShowAll SwitchParameter
- Expand repeated non-circular groups again in tree output.
- Skip int
- Skips the specified number of output records after ordering/filtering.
