List members of a Group

You can retrieve a list of users from a Security or
Distribution Group in domain by using DSget tool – a new tool introduced in
Windows 2003. This tool and other related tools ships with Windows 2003 CD.


Let’s say you need to gather a list of users (+nested groups) from a domain
group. This is bit easy. You can use the following command to accomplish the
goal:

dsget group “DN_of_group” -members -expand > userlist.txt

The output will be saved in userlist.txt

This is the sample output saved in userlist.txt

“CN=Shan Dallis,OU=Users,DC=test,DC=local”
“CN=Tapihe C Mdwa,OU=Users,DC=test,DC=local”

and so on…

  4. you could get just teh user names with a simple vb script ..
    ;….
    set args = Wscript.Arguments
    set grp = GetObject(“WinNT://DomainName/” + args(0), group)
    for each usr in grp.members
    wscript.echo usr.name
    next
    ;….
    Then run from the command line
    cscript scriptname.vbs GroupName

    you can modify the vb, to include the info you want, add delimiters, etc. eg. wscript.echo usr.name & ” ” & usr.fullname & ” ” & usr.description

  6. The “net group abc >C:\report.txt” worked great – but what I really need is the list of members in each group and what access level they have. Any ideas on what to query for that?

    Thanks much!

  13. string Department = “Billing”;
    DirectorySearcher LdapSearcher = new DirectorySearcher();
    LdapSearcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add(“displayName”);
    LdapSearcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add(“cn”);
    LdapSearcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add(“department”);
    LdapSearcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add(“title”);
    LdapSearcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add(“memberOf”);
