You can peruse existing script https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Get-RemoteProgram-Get-list-de9fd2b4

To get a list of computers that have Internet Explorer 11:

$result= @();
$programName = "Internet Explorer 11"
$computers = ("Computer1","Computer2","Computer3")
$computers | % { if ((Get-RemoteProgram -ComputerName $_).programname -contains $programName) { $result += $_}}
$result

I have done option 2 and 3. Mostly use option 2 unless I know the previous MSI package gave me problems. Option 1 seems just a hack way to do things as its not designed for that. I always leave my old MSIs in the deploy location, just in case. I have also noticed with option 2 it will automatically detect previous version and automatically upgrade the previous package even if you don't manually set it to (Windows Server 2008 R2) when the MSI is properly configured.

Active Directory – Get List of AD Groups a User is a Member Of

You can do this in PowerShell pretty easily. I'm sure you can do it with the ds tools too, but they're old and crusty and PowerShell should be used for everything possible nowadays.

Import-Module ActiveDirectory
(Get-ADUser userName –Properties MemberOf | Select-Object MemberOf).MemberOf

Shorter version

(Get-ADUser userName –Properties MemberOf).MemberOf
