Questions[active-directory](server)

This is a Canonical Question about Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS).

What is Active Directory? What does it do and how does it work?

How is Active Directory organized: Forest, Child Domain, Tree, Site, or OU

I find myself explaining some of what I assume is common knowledge about it almost daily. This question will, hopefully, serve as a canonical question and answer for most basic Active Directory questions. If you feel that you can improve the answer to this question, please edit away.

I'm running a Windows XP desktop in a corporate environment. How can I find out what AD groups I belong to?

How can I find out the name/IP address of the AD domain controller on my network?

Is there a command line way to list all the users in a particular Active Directory group?

I can see who is in the group by going to Manage Computer --> Local User / Groups --> Groups and double clicking the group.

I just need a command line way to retrieve the data, so I can do some other automated tasks.

Is there a way to view the members of an Active Directory group if you aren't a domain admin and can't log into to a domain controller?
