Is there a way to check AD group membership for a computer?

Question

I am trying to check computer group membership through Powershell. I want to be able to specify a certain computer name and find which groups that computer is in but from a Powershell script. I am planning on running the script on a computer, grabbing the hostname, and then printing out what AD groups that computer is in. Is there an easy way to do this?

EDIT: So the plan here is to have a computer check to see what groups it is in, then assign a printer based on which group it is in. We have many printers that only 3 to 4 people use but due to the spread out nature of the users cannot downsize the amount of printers. I was looking at group policy but did not want to create 20 different GPOs. I wanted to do this with a logon/startup script. I'm not sure if this is doable or feasible.

Edit #2: This edit it really late to the party but I figured if anyone found this it could help. We ended up using item level targeting on User>Preferences>Control Panel>Printers objects. We made an account in AD for each group of users needing access to the printers. This worked although it did create a long logon process for the first logon of the computer. We also enabled Point-to-Print restrictions so the drivers were loaded from the servers quietly.

Answer 1

This will give you the group membership (group names) of the local computer (requires powershell 2.0):

([adsisearcher]"(&(objectCategory=computer)(cn=$env:COMPUTERNAME))").FindOne().Properties.memberof -replace '^CN=([^,]+).+$','$1'
