Exporting users that below to a certain group - windows 2003 active directory

[Sabo, Eric]

Is there any tool or script that will export the users names from a certain
group from the active directory? I tried ldifde but it exports the cn
names only. I looks at the script center, there was nothing there also.

The easy way would be to go into Active Directory Users and Computers and
right click on the right hand side and use the field chooser to select only
user names

The right click and export.

If you have a lot of OU's and you use 2003 then go to AD Query at the top
select the people you by defining then export that.

It might now be a good solution but I wanted to put in my 10 cents.

Take a shot at dsget:
dsget group "CN=Backup Operators,ou=Test,dc=microsoft,dc=com" -members >
C:\Members.txt

will list all members of the Backup Operators group into the file C:
\Members.txt. You can also customize the output, see the online help
('dsget group /?').

Thanks but that still produces them in schema format.

Is there any way else?

Well, in Notepad you can search and replace the portion after the name
with nothing and also replace "CN=" with nothing and there you go ;)
Anyway, you can also use:
- net group "Domain Admins"
- showmbrs.exe from Win2K Resource Kit
- this script:

Set objGroup = GetObject _
("LDAP://cn=Domain Admins,cn=Users,dc=sample,dc=com")

For Each Member in objGroup.Members
arrTmp = Split(Member.Name, "=",-1,1)
Wscript.Echo arrTmp(1)
Next

- a custom application ;)
