Get user's non-truncated Active Directory groups from command line

Question

I often use the net user command to have a look at AD groups for a user:

net user /DOMAIN 

This works well, howeve

Answer 1

Much easier way in PowerShell:

Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership <username>

Requirement: the account you yourself are running under must be a member of the same domain as the target user, unless you specify -Credential and -Server (untested).

In addition, you must have the Active Directory Powershell module installed, which as @dave-lucre says in a comment to another answer, is not always an option.

For group names only, try one of these:

(Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership <username>).Name
Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership <username> |Select Name
