Detect Changes to AD Group Members and Notify on Change
#requires -Module ActiveDirectory
<#
.SYNOPSIS
This script queries multiple Active Directory groups for new members in a domain. It records group membership
in a CSV file in the same location as the script is located. On the script's initial run it will simply record
all members of all groups into this CSV file. On subsequent runs it will query each group's member list and compare
that list to what's in the CSV file. If any differences are found (added or removed) the script will update the
CSV file to reflect current memberships and notify an administrator of which members were either added or removed.
.NOTES
Filename: Get-AdGroupMembershipChange.ps1
.EXAMPLE
PS> .\Get-AdGroupMembershipChange.ps1 -Group 'Enterprise Admins','Domain Admins','Schema Admins' -Email abertram@lab.local
This example will query group memberships of the Enterprise Admins, Domain Admins and Schema Admins groups and email
abertram@lab.local when a member is either added or removed from any of these groups.
.PARAMETER Group
One or more group names to monitor for membership changes
.PARAMETER DomainController
By default the Active Directory module will automatically find a domain controller to query. If this parameter is set
the script will directly query this domain controller.
.PARAMETER Email
The email address of the administrator that would like to get notified of group changes.
.PARAMETER LogFilePath
The path to where the group membership CSV file will be placed. This is the file that will record the most recent
group membership and will be used to compare current to most recent.
