How to copy Active Directory Group member of from one user to another
Unlike the group membership, there is no simple and straight forward method to copy group member of from an AD Group, have found a way to do this
Step 1: To get member of from an accounts group
dsget group "CN=accounts,OU=Groups,DC=windowstricks,DC=in" –memberof >>c:\temp\accounts.txt
or
dsquery group -name acciunts |dsget group –memberof >>c:\temp\accounts.txt
Step2: Add test group to list of member of Groups
For /f "tokens=1-3 delims=;" %a in (c:\temp\accounts.txt) do dsmod group %a -addmbr "CN=test,OU=Groups,DC=windowstricks,DC=in"
Seems to be simple, How about bulk copy like this for many source and destination groups
