## DESCRIPTION
Builds a directory searcher object using Get-DomainSearcher, builds a custom
LDAP filter based on targeting/filter parameters, and searches for the specified
group matching the criteria.
Each result is then rebound and the full user
or group object is returned.

## PARAMETERS

### -Identity
A SamAccountName (e.g.
Group1), DistinguishedName (e.g.
CN=group1,CN=Users,DC=testlab,DC=local),
SID (e.g.
S-1-5-21-890171859-3433809279-3366196753-1114), or GUID (e.g.
4c435dd7-dc58-4b14-9a5e-1fdb0e80d202)
specifying the group to query for.
Wildcards accepted.

```yaml
Type: String[]
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases: DistinguishedName, SamAccountName, Name, MemberDistinguishedName, MemberName

Required: True
Position: 1
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName, ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters: False
```

### -Domain
Specifies the domain to use for the query, defaults to the current domain.

Aliases: 

Required: False

Accept wildcard characters: False
```

### -RecurseUsingMatchingRule
Switch.
Use LDAP_MATCHING_RULE_IN_CHAIN in the LDAP search query to recurse.
Much faster than manual recursion, but doesn't reveal cross-domain groups,
and only returns user accounts (no nested group objects themselves).

```yaml
Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: RecurseUsingMatchingRule
Aliases: 

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
```

"LDAP://OU=secret,DC=testlab,DC=local"
Useful for OU queries.

```yaml
Type: String

Aliases: ADSPath

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
```

### -Server
Specifies an Active Directory server (domain controller) to bind to.

```yaml

Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases: DomainController

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None

Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
```

### -ResultPageSize
Specifies the PageSize to set for the LDAP searcher object.

```yaml
Type: Int32
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases: 

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: 200
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
```

### -ServerTimeLimit
Specifies the maximum amount of time the server spends searching.
Default of 120 seconds.

```yaml
Type: Int32
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases: 

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: 0
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
```

### -SecurityMasks

Aliases: 

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: [Management.Automation.PSCredential]::Empty
