How to get all groups that a mail-contact belongs to?










2















This code will find all groups to which a particular email account or mail-user account belongs.



get-group | where-object -FilterScript $_.Members -contains $user


However, in O365 you can have mail-contacts who are not users - they are used just for mailing lists; they don't have a windowsliveid, so they won't be found in $_.Members.



How can I find all groups that a particular mail-contact belongs to?

  • I'm working with Office365 online; I don't think I can use Active Directory powershell. Or at least, when I do, it connects me to my local AD.

Well, likeafoxx over in reddit came up with a solution.



$contact = Get-Contact -Identity "<Contact's Name>"
Get-Group | Where-Object $_.Members -contains $contact


Apparently, if you catch the get-contact value into a variable, then get-group's $_.members can search for that. I was putting the string value for the name there, but that always turned up empty. This works like a charm.
