Using the public domain SHOWMBRS program and standard commands, you can generate a CSV (Comma Seperated Value) file that contains GroupName and UserName. The format of the file is:

"GroupName","AccountBaseUserName" where AccountBase is either a Domain Name or a Computer Name.

- If you run the report on a Domain Controller and include the Domain Name parameter, AccountBase will be the Domain Name.

- If you run the report on a Domain Controller and do not include the Domain Name parameter,
AccountBase will be null for Domain Global Group membership.

- If you run it on a server or a workstation, GroupName will be local and AccountBase will indicate
  wether the UserName is a local or domain account.

You can import the CSV file to a spread sheet, word processor, or data base to produce a nicely formated document. Here is a sample crosstab query made with partial data:

You will notice that this script also outputs global group membership in local groups (JSI/Domain Users is a member of local group Users).

The syntax for running JSIUserRpt.bat is:

JSIUserRpt "csvfile.csv" [Domain Name] where:

Parameter

D e s c r i p t i o n

"csvfile.csv"

 The CSV file that will contain the report. 

Domain Name

 The Domain Name, using proper case, if JSIUserRpt is run on a Domain Controller

JSIUserRpt.bat contains:
