PowerShell script to return members of multiple security groups

Question

I need to return all members of multiple security groups using PowerShell  Handily  all of the groups start with the same letters   I can return a list of all the relevant security groups using the following code   Get-ADGroup -filter  Name -like ABC      Select-Object Name   And I know I can return the membership list of a specific security group using the following code   Get-ADGroupMember  Security Group Name  -recursive   Select-Object Name   However  I can t seem to put them together  although I think what I m after should look something like this  please feel free to correct me  that s why I m here      Groups   Get-ADGroup -filter  Name -like ABC      Select-Object Name ForEach   Group in  Groups   Get-ADGroupMember - Group -recursive   Select-Object Name   Any ideas on how to properly structure that would be appreciated   Thanks   Chris

If you don t care what groups the users were in  and just want a big ol  list of users - this does the job    Groups   Get-ADGroup -Filter  Name -like  AB      rtn        ForEach   Group in  Groups         rtn     Get-ADGroupMember -Identity     Group Name   -Recursive      Then the results     rtn   ft -autosize

Get-ADGroupMember  Group1  -recursive   Select-Object Name   Export-Csv c  path Groups csv   I got this to work for me    I would assume that you could put  Group1  Group2  etc   or try a wildcard  I did pre-load AD into PowerShell before hand    Get-Module -ListAvailable   Import-Module

This is cleaner and will put in a csv   Import-Module ActiveDirectory   Groups    Get-AdGroup -filter     Where     name -like         select name -expandproperty name     Table         Record    ordered     Group Name        Name        Username            Foreach   Group in  Groups      Arrayofmembers   Get-ADGroupMember -identity  Group   select name samaccountname  foreach   Member in  Arrayofmembers     Record  Group Name     Group  Record  Name     Member name  Record  UserName     Member samaccountname  objRecord   New-Object PSObject -property  Record  Table     objrecord         Table   export-csv  C  temp SecurityGroups csv  -NoTypeInformation
