Is there a way to list out groups by the group name and list out the members in those groups? I have been tasked with providing the group names and the members in the group on an Exchange 2010 server.

What kind format do you want the output to be in?[string](0..33|%{[char][int](46+("686552495351636652556262185355647068516270555358646562655775 0645570").substring(($_*2),2))})-replace " "

either txt or csv.

This musn't be an easy task. Are there any others with some ideas?

Copy and paste exactly like below into Exchange powershell and press enter. write-output “” > C:\outputDGmembers.txt get-distributiongroup | Sort -Property DisplayName | foreach { $name = $_.displayname $output = ‘Group Name: ‘ + $Name write-output $output >> C:\outputDGmembers.txt Get-DistributionGroupMember $name | Sort -Property DisplayName | Select DisplayName, Alias, Department >> C:\outputDGmembers.txt write-output “” “” >> C:\outputDGmembers.txt } http://www.wilneumann.org/2009/04/displayexport-the-members-of-exchange-distribution-groups/James Chong MCITP | EA | EMA; MCSE | M+, S+ Security+, Project+, ITIL msexchangetips.blogspot.com

Are you sure you're launching from Exchange powershell and not Windows powershell? The script works fine for me.James Chong MCITP | EA | EMA; MCSE | M+, S+ Security+, Project+, ITIL msexchangetips.blogspot.com

This is what i get. The term 'get-distributiongroup' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:2 char:23 + get-distributiongroup <<<< | Sort -Property DisplayName | foreach { + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (get-distributiongroup:String) [], CommandNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

i guess i'm just not doing it right. When i run that in the Exchange Management Shell all that happens is the file is created but with nothing in the file.

Here is my text capture exactly from my powershell after I copy and paste. You can see it starts to output the results in the console but also sends to the txt file. My guess is when you're copying and pasting there is a break somewhere.
