get AD group path in the domain/tree
2 ways so far:
- canonical name:
get-adgroup -identity "your group" -properties canonicalname | sel -property canonicalname [enter]
canonicalname
Your.Domain/ou name/ou name/your group
using the distinguishedname:
$group = get-adgroup identity "your group" [enter]
($group.DistinguishedName -split"," ,2)[1] [enter] ou=name,ou,name,dc=your,dc=domain,dc=tld
sorry, I do not seem to get the right formatting, but you get the picture.

How to get the path of a specific group from the Domain/tree? I am not getting to the info with the "Active Directory Users and Groups" program.
We have a extensive tree of folders beneath the company.com domain. And I want to know where a specific group "AXX G Doc Users" resides. I'm experimenting with PowerShell Active Directory module, but no clue how to get the path.
PS C:\Users\hansi> get-adgroup "AXX G Doc Users" DistinguishedName : CN=AXX G Doc Users,OU=Groups,OU=AXX,OU=AT,OU=Europe,OU=COMP Group,DC=comp,DC=com GroupCategory : Security GroupScope : Global Name : AXX G Doc Users ObjectClass : group ObjectGUID : 589de0db-105e-4cfe-a231-692573248487 SamAccountName : AXX G Doc Users SID : S-1-5-21-796845957-79056718-725345543-16367
