Hi

I'm running a ldapsearch for groups to get its members, but I need only the group objects excluding the user objects, I'm trying to to use sAMAccountType to differentiate the groups and users of the parent group but its not working, is there any alternative option?

ldap search i'm using:

|ldapsearch domain="abc" search=(&(objectClass=group)(cn=tt_users))|ldapgroup |table cn member_name|mvexpand member_namemember|ldapfilter search "cn=$member_name$ attrs"sAMAccountType"|search sAMAccountType="Group_Object"|table cn member_name sAMAccountType

Hi!
This code leave only group objects, excluding the user objects.

| ldapsearch search="(&(objectClass=group)(cn=tt_users))" attrs="cn,distinguishedName"
| ldapgroup
| table cn member_name
| mvexpand member_name
| ldapfilter search="(&(objectClass=group)(cn=$member_name$))" attrs="objectSid"
