Guest Joe Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 I found this batch file on a newsgroup a while back, I'm trying to get a text file that shows all the users I have in my domain groups. It keeps on giving me a message of something like "group not found" (I'm not near a dc to give the exact error) I noted the line numbers in this string. Any ideas how to make this work ? Line 1@echo off Line 2 if exist c:\Groups.txt del c:\Groups.txt Line 3 for /F "tokens=*" %%* in ('net localgroup ^| find "*"') do call :Sub %%* Line 4 for /F "tokens=*" %%* in ('net groups /domain ^| find "*"') do call :Sub %%* Line 5 goto :eof Line 6 :sub Line 7 set name=%* Line 8 net group "%name:~1%" | find /i /v "comment" | find /i /v "members" | find /i /v "--------------" | find /i /v "completed successfully" >> c:\Groups.txt

It works quite nicely, provided that you don't have any "poison" characters in your group names. To see for yourself, insert these lines immediately after Line 7 and report the result: echo Name=%name% pause
Guest cmail0925@gmail.com Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 Re: Getting a list of users in global and local groups. It displays groups when adding the echo, however, it still responds with "the group name can not be found". Additionally, the groups.txt file is created, but nothing is written to it.

Guest Joe Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Re: Getting a list of users in global and local groups. Yes, that is me at work.. I posted the exact batch file in the original thread. I'm applying it on a Windows 2003 dc with the default groups. I did create a a test group and it echoed through along with all the others with the echo command you gave me. However, I just get a blank file in the root directory.

Guest Pegasus \(MVP\) Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Re: Getting a list of users in global and local groups. I beg to disagree. Your original post had the string "Line 1", "Line 2" at the beginning of each line. This batch file could not possibly work. I've been in this game for too long to consider something such as "The batch file looked like this". I need the real thing!

Guest Pegasus \(MVP\) Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Re: Getting a list of users in global and local groups. The batch file you posted works very nicely on my machines. Here is a modified version you could try. You must remove the # characters that marks the start of each line. #@echo off #if exist c:\Groups.txt del c:\Groups.txt #set parm=Localgroup #for /F "tokens=*" %%* in ('net localgroup ^| find "*"') do call :Sub %%* #set parm=Group #for /F "tokens=*" %%* in ('net groups /domain ^| find "*"') do call :Sub %%* #notepad c:\Groups.txt #goto :eof # #:Sub #set name=%* #echo Group name: %name% #echo %parm% name: %name:~1% >> c:\Groups.txt #net %parm% "%name:~1%" | find /i /v "completed successfully" | more +6 >> c:\Groups.txt If this version still does not work then you must post the output generated by the following commands: net localgroup net localgroup administrators net groups /domain net groups /domain "domain admins" <cmail0925@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1188572920.392066.284600@r34g2000hsd.googlegroups.com... > Here you go... > > @echo off > if exist c:\Groups.txt del c:\Groups.txt > for /F "tokens=*" %%* in ('net localgroup ^| find "*"') do call :Sub % > %* > for /F "tokens=*" %%* in ('net groups /domain ^| find "*"') do > call :Sub %%* > goto :eof > :sub > set name=%* > echo Name=%name% > net group "%name:~1%" | find /i /v "comment" | find /i /v "members" | > find /i /v "--------------" | find /i /v "completed successfully" >> c: > \Groups.txt >
Guest Joe Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Re: Getting a list of users in global and local groups. Ok, I'll try this on Tuesday when I'm back at work. Thanks!
