Test-MtAdGroupUniversalCount

SYNOPSIS​

Counts the number of universal groups in Active Directory.

SYNTAX​

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

DESCRIPTION​

This test counts universal groups in Active Directory. Universal groups can be used across the entire forest and can contain users and other groups from any domain in the forest. Unlike global groups, universal groups are stored in the Global Catalog, which means membership changes trigger forest-wide replication. They are typically used in multi-domain environments to provide consistent access across domains or to nest global groups from multiple domains into a single group for resource access.
