    Hi,

    Looking for some way to extract info from active directory. Need to see all users and what groups they are a member of. Only thing is i cannot use any 3rd party software for it. Is there anyway to do this? Possibly extract into excel or something.

    Lots of sample VBS scripts out there for this. Here's one:

    great thanks, could this do any damage to AD? e.g corrupt or similar.

    Even better than VBS scripts are the various Powershell commandlets for AD manipulation. You need an account with suitable privileges to execute the queries correctly, but they're only read operations so if you're using them correctly they shouldn't change anything.

    See here for more info.
