samba - Apr 2019 - best way to write group membership to a file

Hi sambalist,

There are some questions I want to ask you. I hope that you could give some
advice to me.

I want to export all the groups membership to a file such as a csv for someone
to audit. I know there are some command I can list group members like:
list all the group:
samba-tool group list
and list members in some group:
samba-tool group listmembers groupname

so how can I merge all the output results into a file like a csv file? will a
shell sript be ok  or need I  write a python tool or just use some windows AD
manage tools?
thanks.

Best,


yours Adam

You will probably have to write your own script, either around the two
commands you mention or by accessing the information in AD directly
with ldapsearch or ldbsearch.
