I get asked often "How can I get all mebers of an Active Directory group into a UMRA data table?". So this blog post will be an easy way to pull users of a Active Directory group into a UMRA generic data table.

Step 1:
Now, there are may ways to do this first step, but I like to search all users "memberof" Active Directory attribute for the DN of the group.
This will be placed into the "LDAP Filter" Tab in the UMRA generic data table.
LDAP Filter: (&(objectClass=user) (memberof=DN_OF_GROUP))
LDAP Filter Example: (&(objectClass=user) (memberof=CN=My Cool Group,OU=Groups,OU=A,OU=DEMO,DC=MINE,DC=local
))



Step 2:
Now that you have your filter set, you can now select attributes you want to pull back in the table, click on the "Attributes" tab, and select attributes you want to display in your UMRA generic data table.


Step 3:
Now that we have our filter, and our attributes you want to pull back, click the "Variable" Tab. Here you will be entering a variable name for your table, this way we can refence the table in other UMRA actions, such as a For Each action.



Step 4:
Now that we have our filter, attributes, and variable set we can now click the "Run Test" tab. This will allow you to run a test and see your data retrieved. If it looks good, your done, and can now use the variable you set Step 3 in other UMRA actions, such as a For Each action.


So there you have it, a quick and simple way to get all users of a group into a UMRA generic data table. I hope this helped some of you out there who might have been wondering on how to do such a task, and as always if you have any questions feel free to email me, or post a comment below.
