How to extract only common names for members of a group

Hi,

I've been trying to extract the usernames for member of a group using this:

DSGET GROUP "cn=HER-GBS-DAT-ADM,ou=security
groups,ou=groups,ou=locations,dc=domain name,dc=com" -members

However this extracts everything including OU and DC for each user. How can
I keep it down to just extracting the common name as this is all the info I'm
interested in?

Thanks,
Ronnie

I was just thinking that it would actually be even better if I could get
just the usernames and not the common names. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance,
Ronnie

If you want to do this in PowerShell you could do something like this. You
will need to install Quest Active Roles to get the QAD snapin

$UserObject=Get-QADUser -sizelimit 0

foreach ($SamName in $UserObject)
{
$SamName.samaccountname
}

How about running the following from a command prompt, replacing <group
name> with the group you are looking for info on
net group /domain <group name>

Thanks, Paul. This does exactly what I weas looking for. Can I export the
results into a CSV file somehow?

You could pipe it to a file > output.txt

But it won't be any different then what is on the screen

Ok, I already piped it to txt files for each group, but was hoping that I
could get it out in another format. Anyway I'm now able to do what I wanted
so thanks again.

Regards,
Ronnie

Glad to help
