Inform group owners on members of the groups they own

The script will generate and send a CSV report to notify owners of groups with information on users who are members of the groups they own.

To generate the reports upon request, you can create a Custom Command that runs the script. To schedule the reports, you need to create a Scheduled Task configured for the Domain-DNS object type and run it against any of your AD domains.

To add the script to a Custom Command or Scheduled Task, use the Run a program or PowerShell script action.

Parameters:

$csvFilePath - specifies the path to the CSV file that will be created by the script;
$attributesToExport - specifies a list of AD attributes of the users to export;
$from - specifies the message sender;
$smtpServer - specifies the SMTP Server to user for sending the report;
$subject - specifies the notification message subject;
$messageBody - specifies the text for the notification message body.
