Here is a good command line in case you will have need to export members of from security group in [easyazon_link identifier=”1782175997″ locale=”US” tag=”wn0d5-20″] Active Directory [/easyazon_link] to a text file for whatever reason it may be on Microsoft [easyazon_link identifier=”178439307X” locale=”US” tag=”wn0d5-20″] Windows Server 2012 R2 [/easyazon_link].
So here is the command line where I want to export all members of ENGINEERING group in [easyazon_link identifier=”1514397765″ locale=”US” tag=”wn0d5-20″] Active Directory [/easyazon_link] to a text file:
dsquery group -name “ENGINEERING” | dsget group -members > C:\memberlist.txt
Once the command completes, you should find a memberlist.txt file under C:\> 🙂
also can be used PowerShell:
Get-ADGroupMember -identity “ENGINEERING” | select name | Export-csv -path C:\Output\Groupmembers.csv -NoTypeInformation

Hello,
Is it also possible to extract the “Members of” of a specific user in a text file ?
If a user is member of several ad ds folders, how could we export them all his memberships to a txt file?
you mean all groups for a specific user ? yes, you can:
Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership john.doe | select name . — > gives you list of all Group membership for the specific user
but also you can use for same = export members of group to txt or csv by using this command:
Get-ADGroupMember -identity “ENGINEERING” | select name | Export-csv -path C:\Output\Groupmembers.csv -NoTypeInformation
Hope it helps 🙂
Thenks a lot for the reply cloud warrior.
If I use : Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership john.doe | select name Export-txt – path C:\… it will actually export all “Members of” in a text file ? And if so, will it be comma separated if I want to add all same “Members of” to another user?
to output to TXT you need to use “Out-File” instead of “Export-Csv”
Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership john.doe | select name | Out-File -filepath C:\Output\Groups.txt
the output looks like:
name
—-
Domain Users
APP-AWS DEVS
APP-AWS ReadOnly
APP-ServiceNow
if you wanna copy group membership from one user to another you can use simple PowerShell script:
example you want make Frank to be same as John …
$SName = john.doe
$DName = frank.doe
$G = Get-ADUser -Identity $SName -Properties memberOf
foreach($group in $G.memberof)
{
Add-ADGroupMember -Identity $group -Member $DName
write-output $group
}
will copy group membership from John to Frank so Frank ends up with same groups …
