batch file help please

[popthree]

i want to write a batch file that first runs

NET LOCALGROUP

then takes the output from that and runs

NET LOCALGROUP 'administratirs'
NET LOCALGROUP 'guests'
NET LOCALGROUP ...
...
and so on... a separate NET LOCALGROUP command for each of the groups that was output from the first command.  any idea how i can accomplish this ?  i'd really like to get it done with a single script...rather than having the first command output to a file and then parse that file..but if it must be done with 2 separate scripts then it must.  can anyone help ?

for /f "tokens=1,2*" %a in ('NET LOCALGROUP ^|find /I /V "the"') do echo %a

the above will set the user groups into %a ,

for /f "tokens=1,2*" %a in ('NET LOCALGROUP ^|find /I /V "the"') do NET LOCALGROUP '%a'

using this in a batch file remember to add an additional percentile symbol , example

for /f "tokens=1,2*" %%a in ('NET LOCALGROUP ^|find /I /V "the"') do NET LOCALGROUP '%%a'

thank you for the reply.

when i run this command
for /f "tokens=1,2*" %%a in ('NET LOCALGROUP ^|find /I /V "the"') do NET LOCALGROUP '%%a'

here is the output i am getting .... seems to dislike group names with spaces in them.. and check the administrators group.. it has a * pended to the front of it.

I'm confused why you would look for lines not containing the word the. Knowing that each line you need is pre-pended with a star is an important piece of information.

Code: [Select]

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /f "tokens=1 delims=" %%a in ('net localgroup ^| find "*"') do (
set lg=%%a
set lg=!lg:~1!
net localgroup !lg!
)

hi, thank you for replying.

i think that is very close.  is there a way to make the group names be in " quotes "  ?

it doesn't seem to work on groups  like   Backup Operators   or Power Users   i'm guessing because they are not in quotes.

to successfully return a list of users from the Power Users group the command would be

Net LocalGroup "Power Users"

[Sidewinder]

If you need quotes, you can add them to the final set command:

Code: [Select]

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /f "tokens=1 delims=" %%a in ('net localgroup ^| find "*"') do (
set lg=%%a
set lg="!lg:~1!"
net localgroup !lg!
)
