Here is how to list all members of a specific AD group.

List all members in the group “MYGROUP”:

dsquery group -name MYGROUP | DSGET group -members

Then you can put it to a text file by simply adding “> mygroup-members.txt” and the end for example. More simple than struggling around with VBScripts, and very useful.
