Optimize Nested Group Membership Collection

Depending on the reports that will be run, you may need to collect data to show nested group memberships. It is more efficient to collect to group members through Active Directory® discoveries than using the nested group membership options in individual discoveries of other types. This also helps avoid collecting the same accounts in multiple discoveries. The recommended practice for collecting nested group members is to:

•
Collect accounts from each domain of interest (one discovery per domain, and be sure to include all other data that you need from that domain). This results in the groups and members in the domain being collected once.
•
If a domain has groups with members from other domains for which you do not have separate discoveries, you should collect foreign group members to ensure complete data.
•
Do not collect group members in NTFS, Registry, or MS SQL discoveries, if you will have all the information needed for reporting from the Active Directory or Exchange discoveries.
* 
NOTE: If you are not running Active Directory or Exchange discoveries, you will need to include the nested group members in NTFS, Registry, or MS SQL discoveries.

Optimize Nested Group Membership Collection for Azure and Office 365 Discoveries

Depending on the reports that will be run, you may need to collect data to show nested group memberships. It is more efficient to collect group members through the Azure Active Directory discoveries than using the nested group membership option on the Azure Resource, Exchange Online, or OneDrive discovery.This also helps to avoid collecting the same accounts in multiple discoveries.
