How do I generate a list of members in a specific distribution group using ADManager Plus?

Objective 

Administrators often need to audit or review the membership of specific distribution groups for communication tracking, access control, or compliance purposes. ADManager Plus allows you to generate targeted reports that list selected distribution groups and their members, helping streamline group management, identify inactive or unauthorized members, and ensure accurate distribution lists across the organization.

Prerequisites 

  • You must have administrative access or be delegated the necessary reporting permissions in ADManager Plus.

  • If using a delegated technician account, confirm that the technician has access to the required organizational units where the groups reside.

Steps to follow

  1. Log in to ADManager Plus.

  2. Navigate to Reports > Group Reports > Member-based Reports > Detailed Group Members.

  3. Select the domain from the Selected Domain drop-down menu.

  4. In the Specify Group(s) field, search and select the specific Distribution Group for which you want to generate the report. 

  5. Under Objects to fetch, select Users, Groups, Computers, and Contacts as per your requirements.

NotesNote: You can expand the drop-down next to the objects and add filters and customize the columns of the report to be generated.

  1. Click Generate.

  2. Use the Export as option to save the report in formats such as PDF, XLS, or CSV.

NotesNote: If you need more flexibility, consider using Custom Reports, where you can apply advanced filters and queries to tailor the output to your requirements.

Tips   

  • Set up the report to run at regular intervals using the Schedule Reports option.

  • You can also enable email delivery to receive the exported reports directly in your inbox.
