Why is the “Domain users” group missing from this Powershell AD Query?












2















I ran the following powershell script to compare a list of groups....



$dasMem = Get-ADUser -Server "<some-srv>" -Identity "<some-usr>" -Properties MemberOf | Select MemberOf

$blahx = $dasMem.MemberOf | % { $_ -replace "^CN=", "" } | % { $_ -replace ",.*$", "" } | sort

$blahx


When I got the list, I ended up with a missing group, Domain users which I believe is a standard default group, is there any reason why it's missing when I pull the script?



To be clear I was able to see the group in Active Directory Users and Computers but not from my script above.

          As silly as it sounds, it's because Domain Users is not actually in the memberOf attribute. You can verify in ADUC by turning on View - Advanced Features, going to the Attributes tab on your object and opening the memberOf attribute (not the "Member Of" tab).



          The "Member Of" tab you see on an object's properties in ADUC is actually a conglomeration of the memberOf attribute and the primaryGroupID attribute. By default, users in AD get their Domain Users membership via this primaryGroupID attribute rather than an entry in memberOf. Though it's possible to change the primaryGroupID, most people don't.

                    Is this a new Fibonacci Identity?

                    Image
                    6 1 $begingroup$ I have found the following Fibonacci Identity (and proved it). If $F_n$ denotes the nth Fibonacci Number, we have the following identity begin{equation} F_{n-r+h}F_{n+k+g+1} - F_{n-r+g}F_{n+k+h+1} = (-1)^{n+r+h+1} F_{g-h}F_{k+r+1} end{equation} where $F_1 = F_2 = 1$ , $r leq n$ , $h leq g$ , and $n, g, k in mathbb{N}$ . It is not too hard to show that this identity subsumes Cassini's Identity, Catalan's Identity, Vajda's Idenity, and d'Ocagne's identity to name a few. I have done a pretty thorough literature review, and I have not found anything like this, but I am still wondering if anyone has seen this identity before? I found this by accident after noticing some patterns in some analysis work I was doing, so if this is already known I would be curious to see w...
