Hi,

I am trying to run dsquery / dsget batch commands to get the members of a
few global security groups and put the output into a text file. I have
tested a few groups and found that ht e security groups with small group
membership work ok, however groups that have a very large list of members it
not return any records in the text file.

The command I have run successfully for groups with a small list of members
is:
DSQUERY group "groupDN" | DSGET group -members >>textfile.txt

Is there a limit of members that will not return a value from this command?
Is there a way of using DSQUERY and DSGET to produce an output for security
groups with a large list of members if there is a limit?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Steve

does this have any bearing on your problem?

-limit <NumObjects> Specifies the number of objects matching the
given criteria to be returned, where
<NumObjects>
is the number of objects to be returned.
If the value of <NumObjects> is 0,
all matching objects are returned.
If this parameter is not specified,
by default the first 100 results are displayed.
