Hi! Sometimes we have a problem to find out in which distribution groups certain user is present - is there a PowerShell command that could do this? Thanks! Hi, Yes there is. You can use either of these 2 commands: 1. Get-DistributionGroup | where { (Get-DistributionGroupMember $_ | foreach {$_.PrimarySmtpAddress}) -contains "yourUserPrimaryEmailAddress" } 2. Get-DistributionGroup | where { (Get-DistributionGroupMember $_ | foreach {$_.name}) -contains "yourUserName" } Regards, Laeeq Qazi|Team Lead(Exchange + Sharepoint + BES + DynamicsCRM) www.HostingController.com

Or you can use a small script, such as this: $User = read-host -Prompt "Enter Username" "User " + $User + " is a member of the following groups:" ForEach ($Group in Get-DistributionGroup) { ForEach ($Member in Get-DistributionGroupMember -identity $Group | Where { $_.Name –eq $User }) { $Group.name } }Martin Sundstrm | Microsoft Certified Trainer | MCITP: Enterprise Messaging Administrator | http://msundis.wordpress.com

Thank you for all sharing! Additional helpful commands: Get-DistributionGroupMember –identity “group name” In order to select the properties we need, pipe the command to format-table with the necessary values. Get-DistributionGroupMember –identity “group name” | ft name, primarysmtpaddress As usual, we can export the output to a txt or csv file. Get-DistributionGroupMember –identity “group name” | ft name, primarysmtpaddress | Export-CSV c:\members.csv ThanksYour expertise never fails to impress!

Then it lists them non-alphabetically. Here's how to list group members onscreen in alphabetical order without piping them to a file, opening in Excel and sorting. Get-DistributionGroupMember -Identity "group name" | Sort -Property DisplayName (When are they going to let us Exchange Admins see and sort our mailboxes by size in the GUI? Yes, I will beat the dead horse until it gets up and drinks the water.)
