The objects returned, `DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.GroupPrincipal`, use external resources, which means they don't clean up propertly when garbage collected, resulting in memory leaks. You should call `Dispose()` on the objects you receieve from this function when you're done using them so these external resources can be cleaned up correctly. `Get-CGroup` is new in Carbon 2.0. .OUTPUTS System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.GroupPrincipal. .LINK Get-CUser .EXAMPLE Get-CGroup Demonstrates how to get all local groups. .EXAMPLE Get-CGroup -Name RebelAlliance Demonstrates how to get a specific group. #> [CmdletBinding()] [OutputType([DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.GroupPrincipal])] param( [string] # The name of the group to return. $Name ) Set-StrictMode -Version 'Latest' Use-CallerPreference -Cmdlet $PSCmdlet -Session $ExecutionContext.SessionState $ctx = New-Object 'DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.PrincipalContext' ([DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.ContextType]::Machine) if( $Name ) { $group = [DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.GroupPrincipal]::FindByIdentity( $ctx, $Name ) if( -not $group ) { try { Write-Error ('Local group ''{0}'' not found.' -f $Name) -ErrorAction:$ErrorActionPreference return } finally { $ctx.Dispose() } } return $group } else { $query = New-Object 'DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.GroupPrincipal' $ctx $searcher = New-Object 'DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.PrincipalSearcher' $query try { $searcher.FindAll() } finally { $searcher.Dispose() $query.Dispose() } } } |
