.SYNOPSIS Checks if a user or users from a specified file are members of a specified Active Directory group. .DESCRIPTION The Check-UserGroupMembership function retrieves the local site's domain controller, discovers the target global catalog, and checks if a single user or users listed in a provided text or CSV file are members of a specified group. .PARAMETER GroupName The name of the Active Directory group to check membership against. .PARAMETER UserInput A single username (sAMAccountName) or a path to a file containing usernames. If a file, specify the type with UserInputType. .PARAMETER UserInputType Specifies the type of UserInput: 'Single' for a single username, 'TextFile' for a plain text file, or 'CSV' for a CSV file. Default is 'Single'. .EXAMPLE PS> Check-UserGroupMembership -GroupName "ctx_xd7_win10_prod" -UserInput "jdoe" Checks if the user 'jdoe' is a member of the 'ctx_xd7_win10_prod' group. .EXAMPLE PS> Check-UserGroupMembership -GroupName "ctx_xd7_win10_prod" -UserInput "C:\Users\list.txt" -UserInputType "TextFile" Checks each user in 'list.txt' to see if they are a member of the 'ctx_xd7_win10_prod' group. .EXAMPLE PS> Check-UserGroupMembership -GroupName "ctx_xd7_win10_prod" -UserInput "C:\Users\list.csv" -UserInputType "CSV" Checks each user in 'list.csv' to see if they are a member of the 'ctx_xd7_win10_prod' group.
