Powershell: Remove AD Group Memberships from OU

Purpose

This script was an extension of Powershell: AD Group Membership from OU and is quite dangerous. It will run through the designated OU and remove any security groups designated (or you can give it a list to ignore, which is even more dangerous if you the list is empty). Has very basic logging to csv so you could rebuild if you had to.

To Do

• build in a failsafe check ala DO YOU REALLY WANT TO DO THIS?
• build in a check for OUs never to run against (allow a list of OU's to be programmed that you couldn't run this against)
• figure out a variable check for Test vs Nuke vs Confirm (maybe default to Test)
• learn how to read in from a list into an array for a .ignore list (or .nuke list)
