Guest Israel Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 I want to know how many users are there in a distribution list. Please, can you tell me what can I do? I think I can use dsquery to know this information, but I don't know how. Is it possible with dsquery? Thanks in advance for your help. Eduardo

For example (one line at command prompt)" dsget group "cn=TestGroup,ou=Sales,dc=MyDomain,dc=com" -members | find "cn=" /i /c Otherwise, a VBScript program can use ADO to retrieve all direct members of a group and output the count. The above is easier, but must be run on W2k3. -- Richard Mueller MVP Directory Services Hilltop Lab - http://www.rlmueller.net --
