Research direction

Start by reproducing the Group1, Group2, User1, User2, and User3 example with System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.IsMemberOf(GroupPrincipal group), then compare its behavior with GroupPrincipal.GetMembers(true). Done means nested group membership is recognized without relying on the reported slow recursive enumeration.

Description

area-System.DirectoryServices

The above mentioned methode is not possible to get recursive users that belongs to a subgroup.

Sample:
     Group1
          User1
          Group2
               User2
               User3

Only User1 is found.

The Methode GetMembers(true) of GroupPrinciple is very slow. So its not a solution for that issue.
