RE: [ActiveDir] Enumerating users and groups from ADS.

[Mulnick, Al]

Something like this http://www.houseofqueues.com/CodeSamples/Members.html would do it as well.  This relies on you inputting a list of users in a text file first and it also chases the other groups in there.  If you just comment out this line " Temp = getGroups(strGroupName1)" you'll be able to just get each listed users group membership in text file format without chasing nested groups.  If you really wanted to, you could just query for the users and then for each run through, but you get the idea. If you want to play with the format so that it gives a CSV friendly format, you can just change the way it writes the data.  Likely you'd just want to get rid of the carriage return (VBCRLF in this line Msg = Msg & strGroupName & VbCrLf  likely changing it to some other character such as '%' for import.       It's a rough method , but it gives an example that should give you what you want.  DSQUERY or CSVDE would work for getting the list of accounts you want to search against.  I chose that method since I needed to work with a subset of users vs. the entire 100K + objects in the directory.  This was the best compromise I had at the time it was written.   To comment a line in vbscript, you use an apostrophe at the beginning of the line to do that.      I realize as I read through this that the query syntax is backwards.  I'll fix that on the next pass :)   Should be ((objectCategory=Person)(objectClass=user)).   Al    From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Abhishek Sharma Sent: Thursday, November 04, 2004 2:52 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [ActiveDir] Enumerating users and groups from ADS.   Hello Folks,   Greetings.   I have a deployment of ADS using Windows 2000 SP4. There are around 300 Security groups in the ADS. Each group has around 20-25 users, some are unique to each group and some have membership to more the two groups.   I have been assigned the task to enumerate the group membership of each and every user in an Excel - .xls or perhaps a .txt file.   I am not good at scripting and would require the kind co-operation of script experts in this group. Is there anyone who could advise me on the script which could help me.   Also, is there any tool which could be of help to me.   Thank you.   Kind regards, Abhishek.
