Export members of multiple groups - powershell

Question

Is it possible to change the PS script below in two ways:
The group members are now exported horizontally but I want all the users in 1 cell in the column beside the group name. We have a lot of groups and it is not readable this way.
The path to the folders in the description field of the AD groups are not exported. I would like to have the content of the description field also exported in the column beside the group.
I would like to see this result, see the photo below please:
cls
$Groups = "Group1", "Group2", "Group3"
$results = foreach ($Group in $Groups) {
Get-ADGroupMember -Server contoso.com $group |
select SamAccountName, #{n='GroupName';e={$group}}, #{n='Description';e={(Get-ADGroup $group -Properties description).description}}
}
$results
$results | Export-csv C:\TEMP\GroupMemberShip.CSV -NoTypeInformation

Answer 1

With some minor changes to your original code, you could first gather the wanted info per group and before exporting to CSV, use Group-Object to merge the details.
Something like:
$Groups = "Group1", "Group2", "Group3"
$results = foreach ($Group in $Groups) {
$adGroup = Get-ADGroup $group -Properties Description -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if ($adGroup) {
$adGroup | Get-ADGroupMember -Server 'contoso.com' |
Select-Object SamAccountName,
#{Name = 'GroupName'; Expression = {$adGroup.Name}},
#{Name = 'Description'; Expression = {$adGroup.Description}}
}
else {
Write-Warning "Group '$group' could not be found.."
}
}
# now group the results on the GroupName property and
# return objects with joined SamAccountNames and Descriptions
$results | Group-Object GroupName | ForEach-Object {
[PsCustomObject]#{
SamAccountName = ($_.Group.SamAccountName | Sort-Object -Unique) -join ', '
GroupName = $_.Name
Description = ($_.Group.Description | Sort-Object -Unique) -join ', '
}
} | Export-Csv -Path 'C:\TEMP\GroupMemberShip.CSV' -NoTypeInformation
Although I don't understand why you would like to have duplicate items in your output, you can do this like below
$Groups = "Group1", "Group2", "Group3", "Group2", "Group3"
$results = foreach ($Group in $Groups) {
$adGroup = Get-ADGroup $group -Properties Description -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if ($adGroup) {
$adGroup | Get-ADGroupMember -Server 'contoso.com' |
Select-Object #{Name = 'SamAccountName'; Expression = {($_.SamAccountName | Sort-Object -Unique) -join ', '}},
#{Name = 'GroupName'; Expression = {$adGroup.Name}},
#{Name = 'Description'; Expression = {$adGroup.Description}} -ExcludeProperty SamAccountName
}
else {
Write-Warning "Group '$group' could not be found.."
}
}
$results | Sort-Object GroupName | Export-Csv -Path 'C:\TEMP\GroupMemberShip.CSV' -NoTypeInformation
