Code Answer: Windows AD Group - Command line to list users ?

Is there a command line way to list all the users in a particular Active Directory Group ?

I can see who is in the group by going to manage computer --> Local User / Groups --> Groups and double clicking the group.

I just need a command line way to retrieve the data so I can do some other automated tasks.

Thanks in Advance.

try
```
dsget group "CN=GroupName,DC=domain,DC=name,DC=com" -members
```
duffbeer703 : You probably need to do a little more in order to resolve members and duplicate members in nested groups.

From pQd
Here's a version of the ds command I found more typically useful, especially if you have a complex OU structure and don't necessarily know the full distinguished name of the group.
```
dsquery group -samid "Group_SAM_Account_Name" | dsget group -members
```
or if you know the CN of the group, usually the same as the SAM ID, quoted in case there are spaces in the name:
```
dsquery group -name "Group Account Name" | dsget group -members
```
Jim B : I use the first query all the time

From Ryan Fisher
Using PowerShell and Quest Software's Free ActiveRoles Management Shell for Active Directory, you can use:

(Get-QADGroup "GroupName").Members

Here's another way from the command prompt, not sure how automatable though: net group /domain groupname
