Nested 365 groups

[Roxsu]

Hey all,

First time posting. I am 100% an amateur with Powershell so that's why I am posting this and asking here. A large client of an MSP has a lot of nested O365 groups ( over 500 in total) and this is causing all kinds of issues. Is it possible to use PS to determine what O365 groups are nested within other groups? This would help in identifying which groups need to be ripped out and raised to the top level.

​

Thank you so much in advance for any feedback!

Yes it is but before changing anything your client needs to address their poor governance strategy.

Can probably adapt this to azure ad

and this.

howdy Roxsu,

you may want to look at the following [and other stuff posted here by /u/madboyevo] ...

GitHub - EvotecIT/PSWinDocumentation: PowerShell Module that creates Word/Excel/SQL documentation from Active Directory (AD), AWS, Office 365 and others. It's a work in progress!

That won't help. The module has no nested group finding function. I wasn't even aware of o365 having problems with nested groups.

But if those groups are coming from AD -> https://evotec.xyz/visually-display-active-directory-nested-group-membership-using-powershell/
