Hi,
I'm tyring to search for users who are members of a certain group, I've tried using the advanced find function in active directory users and computers by specifiying the following fields as an example:
Field:Member Of
Condition:Is exactly
Value:Administrators
Maybe I'm doing something wrong but it doesn't return any results. I know that you can check the members tab in security groups but the above method was the first thing I tried and I'm now curious as to why it won't work.

I believe you can also use the "dsquery" tool from the command line, it'll produce the same results as the GUI method, but it's just another way to get the job done. Use "dsquery /?" for syntax options for the command.

Or you can click on dynamik's link and see that I gave the command to run for dsquery.
