Is there a way to check if a string starts with a string?

We are checking the groupmembership from the AD user. Our AD groups look like this: S_G_share1_W

The script for connecting the networkshares should only run if the groupname starts with "S_G_", because we have some other groups too.

$GroupArray = Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership $env:USERNAME | select samaccountname foreach ($Group in $GroupArray) { if ($Group.StartsWith("S_G_")) { $Group = $Group -replace "S_G_", $FileServerRV Write-Host $Group $Group = $Group.Substring(0, $Group.Length-2) Write-Host $Group #erstellen des Anzeigennames $Groupname = $Group.Replace($FileServerRV, "") Write-Host "Call Function with parameter "$Group $Groupname } }

$Group is an object, but you will actually need to check if $Group.samaccountname.StartsWith("string").

Change $Group.StartsWith("S_G_") to $Group.samaccountname.StartsWith("S_G_").
