Can someone point me towards the script used by PDQ Inventory to get recursive Active Directory Groups of a computer?

  If you're referring to one of Inventory's built-in scanners, those are written in C#, not PowerShell.

  Are you looking to pull the same information without using Inventory?

  I think I've come up with a script that does this. Here it is, for anyone with this same question. Hope it helps!
  
  
  

  $tempUser = Read-Host "Gimme a username: "

  $groupArray = @()
  $tempGroups = @()

  $groupArray += (get-aduser -identity $tempUser -properties memberof).memberof

  While ((Compare-Object $groupArray $tempGroups).Length -ne 0)
  {
  
  $groupArray = $tempGroups
  
  $tempGroups = @()
  
  $tempGroups += (get-aduser -identity $tempUser -properties memberof).memberof
  
  foreach ($group in $groupArray)
  {
  $tempGroups += (get-adobject -identity $group -properties memberof).memberof
  }
  
  }

  $groupArray

  Colby Bouma, thanks for that info! For some reason, I thought active directory info was gathered with PowerShell. Good to know. Yes, my goal was to get the same info with PowerShell, and I think I've come up with a script that works.

  Hey,

  Here is my dirty PDQ Inventory tool (Run type : Local) for this :
  
  

  #Computer AD groups
  $Computer = "$(Computer:TARGET)"
  #Message
  Write-Host "'$Computer' is member of :" -ForegroundColor Cyan
  
  #Get AD groups
  $ADComputerInfo = Get-ADComputer $Computer -Properties *
  If([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($ADComputerInfo.MemberOf) -eq $True) {
  Write-Host "No group !"
  }
  Else {
  #Human output, group's name only
  $Inputstring = $ADComputerInfo.MemberOf
  $split = $Inputstring.split("`n")
  $result = Foreach ($line in $split) {
  $input = $line.split(",")[0]
  $output = $input -replace 'CN='
  $output
  }
  $result
  }
