How To Display A List Of Names Of Users In A Group

Using the command prompt from a domain connected computer with the RSAT tools installed, you can get a list of users in a group (showing display names) using dsQuery and dsGet. Here’s how to get a list of users in a group:

In the command prompt, type:

dsquery group -name “Insert Group Name Here” | dsget group -members | dsget user -display

This uses dsQuery to get the group name in a format that can be piped into the dsGet to get a list of members in the group, which is then piped into the command to list the users by display name.

❗ If there are more than 2,000 members in the group you want to list the users of, add “-limit 9999999”, (without quotes) to the end of the command.

If you want this in a text file, simply add “>> C:\Temp\Txtfile.tx”, (without quotes) to the end of the command. Make sure you have permission to write to the location 😉
