Exporting Security Group Memberships in Batch

Question

I have the following command but it doesn't work when put into a batch file:

dsquery group DC=domain,DC=com -name "Group Name" | dsget group -members | dsget user -display >> "Group Name.txt"

If I execute through cmd line it works fine but not when executed from within a batch, what am I missing?

(Note: Powershell isn't an option otherwise I would use that believe me !)

What do you get? Nothing? Also, I would wrap my OU of the group in " " too. — AthomSfere, Nov 07 '13 at 23:44
If you remove the >> "Textfile.txt" does it write the info to the console? — AthomSfere, Nov 07 '13 at 23:46
I can't repro any problem on my lab domain. Your command line works (obviously w/ the path to my rootDSE substituted in it) just fine. — Evan Anderson, Nov 08 '13 at 03:47

Try doing it without the OU / Path to the object. I know it is often encourage to use it, but it seems to cause me trouble more often than not with DSTools.

dsquery group -name "The Group in Question" | dsget group -members | dsget user -display >> "Group Name.txt"

I just tested this, and it did work for my group from a batch File.
