i can view some users in some group but others no.

those groups are both security group, but running the command i can only view users from the other.

command

net group <groupname>

are there any limitation to string i enter, i mean if the group name is to long ?

appr

> net group <groupname>   try "net localgroup" too :)  

Ah - and try to move to "dsquery group" instead. "net group" is limited to 20 characters in the groups' name and cannot resolve group nestings.  

Thanks Martin,

i have create and tested 2  to security groups

one is 20 words and the other is 21 words.

 group one name : aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

group two name : bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

running the net group <groupname> with these 2 created group, i can still view users in them. this in referring to your statement

"net group" is limited

to 20 characters in the groups' name and cannot resolve group nestings."??

Microsoft did not provide and information to the length of the string on its tech article

net localgroup <groupname> does not work on domain level

Net localgroup administrators

It is working once check it with same command and after try another group name

> net localgroup <groupname> does not work on domain level   Yes it does. And it lists all members of domain local groups. If you run it on a member computer, append "/dom"... If you run it on a DC, omit the "/dom" parameter.  

> to 20 characters in the groups' name   Might be I messed up with "net user" - here the groups are truncated :)  

Thanks all.

I will try and work around with the dsquery group if it'll help.

Appreciate your comments
