On Error Resume Next

Set objGroup = GetObject _
("LDAP://cn=Scentists,ou=R&D,dc=NA,dc=fabrikam,dc=com")
objGroup.GetInfo

arrMemberOf = objGroup.GetEx("member")

WScript.Echo "Members:"
For Each strMember in arrMemberOf
WScript.echo strMember
Next

What part of this script is giving you issues? You should be able to run it by providing the proper distinguished name for your environment. i.e cn=xxx,ou=xxx,dc=domain,dc=com

You can find more examples here:

What do the X's and the com mean exactly. Like what does cn, ou, and dc stand for?

 

[djtech2k]

This represents the root DN of your search.

("LDAP://cn=Scentists,ou=R&D,dc=NA,dc=fabrikam,dc=com")

In this case you would be searching an OU called Scientists which is inside of another OU called R&D. The domain in this example is called fabrikam.com.

What you are seeing is a distinguished name.

You can query using some of the examples in the link I provided for the distinguished name. You can also use ADSI edit that comes with Win2k3 support tools to view a user/group object and see their distinguished name.
