We need to list all the members in an AD group from time to time for review purposes. The commands are dsget and dsquery. A problem I had was that I could not remember the proper syntax for this, and every time I needed to use them, I had to look them up again. Here are the commands.
If you’re thinking about purchasing a new GPU, we’d greatly appreciate it if you used our Amazon Associate links. The price you pay will be exactly the same, but Amazon provides us with a small commission for each purchase. It’s a simple way to support our site and helps us keep creating useful content for you. Recommended GPUs: RTX 5090, RTX 5080, and RTX 5070. #ad
dsquery group -name "GROUP-NAME"Â | dsget group -members -expand
Replace the GROUP-NAME with your group name. For the first part, query the AD using the GROUP-NAME provided. Its output will be sent to dsget to list the members in the group.
Again, if you are interested in details of the commands, try the following.
dsquery /? dsget /?
