    Command line tools like dsquery are difficult to use. If it can be done with
    dsquery, I can't figure it out. I would suggest using Joe Richards' free
    adfind utility. See this link:

    http://www.joeware.net/freetools/tools/adfind/index.htm

    The syntax for finding all direct members of a group would be similar to:

    adfind -b dc=MyDomain,dc=com -f "(memberOf=cn=Test
    Group,ou=West,dc=MyDomain,dc=com)" dn

    The reasons this utility is so useful is that you can use standard LDAP
    filters and refer to attributes by their real names, rather than trying to
    remember some shortcut. If you want to see the sAMAccountName's of the
    members, add that attribute at the end. If you want to restrict the members
    to user objects (not groups or computers), adjust the filter. For example
    (watch line wrapping, this is one line):

    adfind -b dc=MyDomain,dc=com -f
    "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(memberOf=cn=Test
    Group,ou=West,dc=MyDomain,dc=com))" dn sAMAccountName
