List the users in AD security group in sp server

Question

I added an AD security group in a sharepoint site. I want to list the users in this group. I want to do this in SP server instead of AD. Have anyone done this before? Could this be achieved through powershell? Please kindly advice.

Answer 1

You could try the following powershell script to achieve this:

$web=get-spweb http://yoursite

$ADGroup = $web.EnsureUser("ADGroup")

$reachedMax = $false

$users =[Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities.SPUtility]::GetPrincipalsInGroup($web, $ADGroup
, 10,[ref]$reachedMax)
$users

Answer 2

You can use below commands: Replace the asterisk (*) with the Security Group

Display on Screen:

  Get-ADGroupMember -identity "*" | Select Name

Export to CSV:

  Get-ADGroupMember -identity "*" | Select Name | Export-CSV -Path C:\Windows\Temp\SecurityGroups.csv -NoTypeInformation
