Get Group Membership for a User

I am trying to use the Quest AD stuff to get all of the groups a particular
user belongs to.

I am getting errors if I try to pipe the get-qadgroup after doing a
get-qaduser -identity USERNAME

Anybody got an idea?

Do you want this recursive (i.e. do you want to see every group that the
user belongs to through direct and indirect membership)? Or do you only
need to know what groups the user is a direct member of?

Also, are you concerned about dynamic query-based DLs (which won't show up
in the .memberOf property) or just regular security and distribution groups?

Just the groups that the user is a direct member of (If that group is nested
inside another group, I don't see to see that informaiton). Just the
security/distributions groups a member is directly a member of.

Ok, then Alexandair's approach should give you what you want. If you want
more than just the distinguished names of those groups, you can pipe the
memberOf list to Get-QADGroup, like this:

$user = Get-QADUser 'Poshoholic'
$user.memberOf | Get-QADGroup

This will take each of the distinguished names in memberOf and pass them
along the pipeline to Get-QADGroup one at a time. Get-QADGroup accepts a
distinguished name of a group as input, so this allows it to retrieve the
actual AD group object with all of it's properties. Note that you will only
see three properties in the output of this script: name, type and dn. If
you want to see all properties that are available, you can do this:

$user.memberOf | Get-QADGroup | Format-List * | more

Note that this will generate a lot of output.
