Remove Users From Groups With PowerShell

A client recently assigned me to clear all group memberships for all users in an OU.

Googling didn’t immediately come up with any great solutions to this seemingly simple problem.

So I decided to write a simple routine myself. Maybe you can use it too?

$Users = Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase "OU=Users,OU=Denmark,OU=E365M,DC=easy365manager,DC=local" -Properties *
ForEach($User In $Users){
    $MemberOf = $User.MemberOf
    ForEach($Group In $MemberOf){
        Write-Host Removing $User from $Group
        Remove-ADGroupMember $Group $User -Confirm:$false
    }
}

The output of the script lets you follow the progress. And if you need to reverse the action for some reason, it’s always nice to know what changes you made.

Make sure to test if the script meets your specific needs before taking it into production.
