Hi guys,

i need to query the AD to find the group membership for number of users, could you please suggest which command i need to use

now i am using dsquery to get it, but the below command which i am using is needed to edit every time with appropriate group id, where as i need to get all the groups of a given user with single command -- is it possible?

dsquery group -name "group name" | dsget group -members

thank you

Hi,

i got the solution

first we need to get the DN of the user with following command

DSQUERY.exe * -limit 0 -filter "(&(objectCategory=Person)(objectClass=User)(!userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2))" >"User-DN.txt"

then use the DN to get the group membership
dsget user <UserDN> -memberof

thank you,
alex
