PowerShell Script to Get Active Directory Builtin Groups Members

You can use builtin groups to control access to shared resources and delegate specific domain-wide administrative roles.

This PowerShell script gets the members of Active Directory Builtin Group Members and export the result to  csv file.

NOTE: This script will only work if the computer running the script is connected to an Active Directory Domain, and the user running it has the permissions to read the group membership. Also, the path of the exported file should exist, otherwise the export will fail.
