!!! Overview [{$pagename}] usually refers to [AD DOMAIN] users. !! [{$pagename}] [Group-AD] [{$pagename}] [Group-AD] is defined by a [Well-known Security Identifier] * [SID] S-1-5-21domain-513 ([RID] 513) * Name: [{$pagename}] Description: A [Global Group] [Security Group] that, by default, includes all user accounts in a domain. When you create a user account in a domain, it is added to this group __by default__. Most methods do not reveal membership in the "primary" group. For most users, the "primary" group would be "[{$pagename}]". Specifically, the [memberOf] attribute of user objects, and the member attribute of group objects, never reveals "primary" group membership. In most domains, the [member] [attribute] of the "[{$pagename}]" [group] is empty, and it is safe to assume that all users belong to this group. [{$pagename}] [LDAP Query Examples|LDAP Query Examples for AD] for all users that have "[{$pagename}]" designated as their "primary", search for all users whose [primaryGroupID] attribute is 513 (__by default__). The primaryGroupID attribute of the group "Domain Users" is the same integer, 513. The [LDAP] syntax [LDAP SearchFilter] could be: {{{(primaryGroupID=513)}}} Or, to find all direct members of "[{$pagename}]", plus all users that have this group designated as their "primary": {{{(|(memberOf=cn=Domain Users,cn=Users,dc=example,dc=com)(primaryGroupID=513))}}} To find all users that have some other group designated as their "primary", the filter could be: {{{(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(!primaryGroupID=513))}}} !!
