I'm assuming you're putting the name of the group in quotes.

 

"If a group name has a space in it, for example Domain Admins, you need
to specify the group name inside quotation marks ("Domain Admins")."

Subject: Net group command

 

I typically don't enumerate groups with this command, but an internal
auditor is using it and found a discrepancy between what ADUC shows, and
using NET GROUP or NET GROUPS. For example 

GROUP1 (a domain global group) has 3 members, one global group and 2
user accounts. When viewing this in ADUC it shows correctly, using
PowerShell it shows correctly. When using the following: 

h:\Utilities>net groups GROUP1 /domain 
The request will be processed at a domain controller for domain
contoso.com. 

Group name     GROUP1 
Comment        Group for testing 

Members 

------------------------------------------------------------------------
------- 
User1                 User2 
The command completed successfully. 

It doesn't enumerate the name of the global group. the group it's not
enumerating does have a space in the name. And I did find this: 

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/150295
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/150295>  

It doesn't specifically say that it can't enumerate the name of a group
member if it has a space in it.  Can someone verify this for me? 

Thanks,
