Get Active Directory Groups by Wildcard Search

Code to find Active Directory based on search criteria (wildcard options).

var context = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, "domain");
var groupPrincipal = new GroupPrincipal(context) { Name = "yourADGroupName*" };
var principalSearcher = new PrincipalSearcher(groupPrincipal);
var listOfADGroupNames = principalSearcher.FindAll().OfType<GroupPrincipal>().Select(principal => principal.Name).ToList();

Happy Coding.
