I want to know who are the members of some AD group. Which free tool can I use to do this?
Addition:
I am not an AD admin and I am using Windows XP.

Try the active directory browser from microsoft:

ADUC (Active Directory Users and Computers) MMC snap-in is in the ADMINPAK.MSI (Win2003) or RSAT (Win2008), both from Microsoft. LDP.EXE also is a one-EXE in the Support Tools, again MS.
Now. Neither will chase trust "member-of" memberships.
All the tools you need are already on your DCs.
See my previous answer related to this. In your case the command would be similar to this:
dsquery group -name "myGroup" | dsget group -members -expand
PS. The -expand
will display the recursive list of members - so if you have a group called anotherGroup that is a member of myGroup, it'll show you all the members of anotherGroup too.
I use ldapsearch
and Ruby's LDAP modules to search AD for information. You might want to try one of the free LDAP "Editors" like led or LDAP Explorer Tool.
I have tried some LDAP browsers and the one which was so easy to use was LDAP brower from LDAPSoft.
