JSI Tip 9617. Another way to return the NetBIOS names of the local and domain groups that the logged on user is a member of?

In tip 9610, I scripted MbrShp.bat to return the groups in the logged on user's security token.

If you are running Windows XP, the WhoAmi.exe program from the Support Tools on the operating system CD-ROM, can be used to script MbrShp.bat:

@echo offfor /f "Tokens=2* Delims

" %%a in ('whoami /groups ^|find /v "LOCAL"') do ( @echo %%b)

When I ran the WhoAmi.exe from my Windows Server 2003 SP1, the output looked like:

GROUP INFORMATION-----------------Group Name                       Type             SID                                           Attributes=========================

JSIINCDomain Admins Group S-1-5-21-4696543212-689049625-1231234552-512 Mandatory group, Enabled by default, Enabled group

To use this version, I needed VLen.bat in my MbrShp.bat:

@echo offsetlocal enabledelayedexpansion:: If not all domain controllers are runningt W2K3, change %LOGONSERVER% to \ServerNamefor /f "Tokens=1" %%a in ('%LOGONSERVER%ADMIN$System32Whoami.exe /groups^|find "="') do set slength=%%acall vlen "%slength%" lenfor /f "Skip=6 Tokens=*" %%a in ('%LOGONSERVER%ADMIN$System32Whoami.exe /groups^|find /v "LOCAL"') do ( set line=%%a call set grp=!line:~0^,%len%! set grp="!grp:  =!" set grp=!grp: "="! @echo !grp!)endlocal
