Quickpost
I just needed a fast and quick way to find out if a security group exists in Active Directory via PowerShell for some SharePointregarding business. I actually had to spend a little time searching for this, the simplest of solutions.
PowerShell prompt:
[ADSI]::Exists('WinNT://./usernameorgroup') <- Local users or groups
or
[ADSI]::Exists('WinNT://domainname/usernameorgroup') <- Domain users or groups
This will return true or false.
For my purposes this was exactly what I needed. What limitations this have in regards to security I don't know. But the user i ran this commands with is not a domain admin or has any elevated rights above admin on the said server.
