How would I write this in PS where I'm looking for or checking for "Company\Domain Admins" security group from local Administrators group?

Get-LocalGroupMember -Group "Administrators" (Gives me a list of groups that are in the Local Administrators group)

If exist ""Company\Domain Admins"

Then

Remove-LocalGroupMember -Group "Administrators" -Member "Company\Domain Admins"

What would be the correct syntax?

    Hi Cody,

    Thanks for your post. You can try the following command

    Get-LocalGroupMember -Group "Administrators" | Where-Object {$_.name -eq "Company\Domain Admins" } | Remove-LocalGroupMember -Group "Administrators"

    Best Regards,
