I have made a more compact script to enumerate nested active directory groups, it can be found here:

Enumerate group members and nested group
I am working on a script that would enumerate our Active Directory and
return all Groups. I would then like to enumerate all the members of
that group. Is there a way to determine if a group member is a user
account or a nested group?

After determining that the member is a group then I would need to
access the group properties so that I can then enumerate its members.

I may be wrong but I thought there might be a method or property
called IsGroup.

Any help would be greatly appeciated.

Thank you

Paul

If you are enumerating all groups in the domain, you perhaps can just
enumerate direct members and indicate the class of each member. The group
nesting can be determined from the output. If you use a recursive sub or
function to enumerate the nested members of each group, many group
memberships will get enumerated multiple times. Plus you need to code to
avoid an infinite loop if you have any circular nested group situations (for
example, GroupA is a member of GroupB, GroupB is a member of GroupC, and
GroupC is a member of GroupA).

I have an example VBScript program that uses ADO to retrieve all groups,
then enumerates the direct members of each group and indicates which members
are groups. The program is linked here:

http://www.rlmueller.net/Document%20Domain%20Groups.htm

There is no IsGroup method I know of. There is an IsMember method of group
objects, but that is used to determine if a given object is a direct member
of the group.
