Active Directory - Nested Security Groups for Computers

We have computers organized in Active Directory via security groups.

Example:

  • LaptopComputer#1 is a member of AD Security Group - "Workstation 1".
    • Workstation 1 is a member of AD Security Group - "Floor 1".
      • Floor 1 is a member of AD Security Group - "Department 1".
  • DesktopComputer#2" is a member of AD Security Group - "Workstation 2".
    • Workstation 2 is a member of AD Security Group - "Floor 2".
      • Floor 2 is a member of AD Security Group - "Department 1".

 

I would like to run a report that shows all computers that are direct members and Nested members of Department 1.

All of the Active Directory reports I have seen listed here will only return the computers that are a direct member of an AD group, but none of them show how to list computers that are members of a nested chain of AD Groups.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
