In this blog post, we will discuss Group-Object cmdlet in PowerShell. You can use Group-Object cmdlet to group objects based on a specific object property. The output of the Group-Object will contain a column indicating the number of items in that group along with the rows for each property values. You can also use Group-Object cmdlet to group based on multiple property. In this case the Group-Object will group the output based on the 1st property and within each groups it will create subgroups based on the second property and this will continue based on the number of secondary property that has been defined.
