Thanks, all.
I need to be able to show out IT Co-Ordinator which students are
members of which groups, in this case, students who have been banned
from using the internet.
In the end I created a batch file which lists the various groups and
members, and echoes its output to a text file. Then I made a ZEN app
that starts notepad.exe with the text file as it's 'parameter', and made
the bacth file run as a pre-launch program. So when he runs it he gets
the latest details every time.
There's 100 prettier ways to do this better, but I needed it to be
quick and reliable, so I'm pretty happy with the end result.
(In the end I decided to use the 'NLIST /co "context"' rather than
change my edir context using cx)
Thanks again to all who replied.

Hi
You may need to use CX too. Like dos cd but for context.
cx is usually at 'O'
so if
[root]
O=AA
OU=group
then I expect CX to show AA
cx group will change level and then show
group.AA
then run nlist as below - assuming this is where the group you want to
list lives...
As you know all this can be run in a batch file for many CX and NLIST
group with output piped to a file, assuming you add to the file :).

Hi all,
I've had a mental blank. I need to list all members of an edirectory
group, from the command line. NLIST or similar.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks.
NLIST GROUP=<groupname> SHOW MEMBERS
will do the trick as will
NLIST USER WHERE "GROUP MEMBERSHIP" = <groupname>
but only for users in the current context - which may be what you
want.
NLIST GROUP=* /d
will list all the details of all groups in that context
NLIST GROUP WHERE MEMBER EQ <username>
Will list all the groups in the current context that have <username>
as
a member.
Of course, my favourite NLIST command is:
NLIST USER /A
With a judicious use of scripting, NLIST can be a powerful real time
network monitoring tool. For example, piping the output of the
previous
command through GREP with a list of 'targeted' logins can alert you
when
particular people login and logout. Running NLIST * /d and sending the
output to a file with the current date allows you to do a quick
compare
for any NDS changes made from day to day. A continuously running
script
with an errorlevel trap piped to sendmail can alert you immediately of
any NDS changes on "monitored" contexts. All this can be done with a
few
short lines of self-modifying code.
HTH,
Wayne
