Test-MtAdGroupInContainerCount

SYNOPSIS​

Counts groups located in container objects (CN=) instead of Organizational Units (OU=).

SYNTAX​

Test-MtAdGroupInContainerCount [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION​

This test identifies groups that are stored in container objects (distinguished names starting with 'CN=') rather than Organizational Units (OU=). Groups should typically be organized within OUs to allow for proper delegation, Group Policy application, and logical organization. Storing groups in containers like the default 'CN=Users' is considered poor practice and limits administrative flexibility.
