What's the easiest way to check the members of an AD Domain Group from a Windows XP or Server 2003 computer?

Preferably this would be a gui, or a one line console command (not a script).

"Active Directory Users and Computers" comes to mind.

It's dsa.msc and is available as part of the Windows Server adminpak.

Open Active Directory Users and Computers then go to the properties of the group and click on the Members tab...

You have to install it on non-DC servers and client systems; it's in adminpak.msi, available on the Windows Server 2003 CD-ROM or from Microsoft. – Massimo Sep 18 '09 at 19:25

I have exactly what your looking for. It's a free download from Microsoft. You can find it here:

Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools Pack:

It's full of all kinds of useful tools, and usually comes installed wherever there is a domain controller. Under the Administrative Tools there is one called "Active Directory Users and Computers". You can search for the group. Opening it up there is a "Members" tab that will list all user's in the group.

It's actually the "Members" tab, not the "Members Of" tab. Big difference in one little word. :-) – Scott Lundberg Sep 19 '09 at 4:16
