Does anyone know how I can export all the security groups plus its members to a text file or csv file?

Start by slitting your wrists, now wait till you are dead.

Are you in hell yet? Ok now lets get started...


Actually Im full of shit, I never worked on AD that far, but a friend at my old work did and it sounded like a bitch to get policies and groups out in any sort of constructive manner.

Hm interesting question actually.. i work with AD all day.. ill have a look into it.. and post it as soon as i find out.

The most common method appears to be using vb scripts. However, I know nowhere near enough about scripts to tailor people's code to my own requirements. I can't believe there isn't a more user friendly way to do it.

Going back to this again, I found the following script, but I don't know anything about VB scripting. Can anyone tell me what bit of the code I need to replace with my own company information? And where I need to run it from?

code:
'Script begins here
Dim objGroup, objUser, objFSO, objFile, strDomain, strGroup, Domain, Group
'Change DomainName to the name of the domain the group is in
strDomain = "Domain"
'Change GroupName to the name of the group whose members you want to export
strGroup = "Group"
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'On the next line change the name and path of the file that export data will be written to.
Set objFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile("C:\stefan\final" & strGroup & " - Members.txt")
Set objGroup = GetObject("WinNT://" & strDomain & "/" & strGroup & ",group")
For Each objUser In objGroup.Members
    objFile.WriteLine objUser.Name & " - " & objUser.Class
Next
objFile.Close
Set objFile = Nothing
Set objFSO = Nothing
Set objUser = Nothing
Set objGroup = Nothing
Wscript.Echo "Done"
Wscript.Echo "Please check your destination folder for the output file"
