Hello

Is it possible to query AD for a user to get the groups he is a member of,
and if any of those groups are nested then also return those uplevel groups
as well.

Currently testing this we query the user and get his memberOf, but unless we
query each group we dont get the uplevel groups for those that are nested
without a seperate query.

thanks
