How can I generate a text list of users from a windows local user group

Question

I am on Windows Server 2012, but I believe this applies to other windows versions.

Under Control Panel -> Computer Management -> Local Users and Groups, I can right click a group and view properties to see a list of the group members. However copy and paste does not work for this list. I want to list these users in a spreadsheet. How can I generate a text list of users for a local user group?

would running `net localgroup administrators > list.txt` do? Change the group name as required. If you need to dump all the users of all the groups that would be doable but might require a script. E.g. VBS, Powershell. — HelpingHand, Jun 20 '18 at 07:27

Ok, I found the command line answer:

net localgroup xxx

which lists the properties for the local group with name xxx
