We have a tool that does this (although this is not its main feature), but it's 
not free.  It's actually a backup tool of all links in your AD forest (i.e. all 
domains in the forest).

As we store all of these in an SQL DB, we can easily run reports on 
group-nesting across the whole forest, including all domain local groups in any 
domain.  The main purpose is obviously to have this information available in 
case you need to restore the group-links (which there are plenty of reasons 
for, especially in an auth-restore case).

Greetings

        I am having to setup groups within our AD structure using AGDLP
method.   We are doing it in a way to follow or organization structure.
This of course is creating a lot of groups.  To ensure that I have the
groups nested correctly I am looking for a way to easily get a graphical
representation or excel spreadsheet with data from AD showing the nested
groups.  I have looked at many scripts and also using DSget but it
doesn't give me all the information that I need. I either get all the
users that are nested in subgroups but it doesn't tell me which group
those users are a member of.  I found another script that actually puts
text next to the users telling me which nested group they are a member
of but then it doesn't show me any nested groups that are currently
empty.

Does anyone know of a utility out there that may show me the members of
groups and the groups those groups are members of etc.

Jeff
