Command Line Kung Fu: Episode #43: Users & Groups
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/12/29
I needed to compare the local group memberships on a few systems.
I knew there is the distinction between
- net group (which despite documentation requires /domain as it does not support local groups: you get a nice NET HELPMSG 3515 error) and
- net localgroup (which can either run locally or with /domain).
So I came up with this batch file thanks to Command Line Kung Fu:
:: http://blog.commandlinekungfu.com/2009/06/episode-43-users-groups.html
for /F "skip=4 delims=*" %%g in ('net localgroup ^| find /v "The command completed successfully"') do @net localgroup "%%g"
It can be done in PowerShell too, but is more work.
Based on that and Beyond Compare I created some diff scripts.
