I have a server that has 100 local groups configured. What I need to do is
parse the list to a file then push them back into another server. Is that
possible?

The output looks something like: (using net localgroup)

The groups should look like

OWS_1382446396_admins
server 8081 admins....

Thx

ADDUSERS from the reskit supplement will dump groups (and membership) and import
them to another server. See the list of tools and pricing at tip 3277 in the
'Tips & Tricks' at http://www.jsiinc.com

If you're poor, you might try something like this to create the list:-

@echo off & setlocal ENABLEEXTENSIONS
call :EnumLG
goto :EOF

:EnumLG
set "cmd=net localgroup^|findstr/b /c:"*""
for /f "tokens=1-3 delims=*" %%a in ('%cmd%') do (
for %%d in ("%%a" "%%b" "%%c") do call :doit %%d)
goto :EOF

:doit
setlocal
set "b=%1"
set "a=%b: "="%"
if %a%==%b% (endlocal & (if not %b%=="" (echo/[%b:"=%])) & goto :EOF)
endlocal & call :doit %a% %2 & (goto :EOF)

I extended the good solution from Ritchie a bit do include
also the users belonging to each group. The output of
"net localgroup username" includes some crap lines, So
you can't automate further without doing an amount of
textreplacements.

But as a documentation for the poor it might be useful.

2 marked lines must be put one line in the batch file

BTW, the %2 is completely redundant (remnant of MK I), so the line
above can be written as:-

endlocal & call :doit %a% & (goto :EOF)

BTW BTW, if you edit the ECHO statement in the :doit routine, it can
generate the commands required to create the new groups:-

:doit
setlocal
set "b=%1"
set "a=%b: "="%"
if %a%==%b% (
endlocal & (if not %b%=="" (
echo/net localgroup "%b:"=%" /add)
) & (goto :EOF)
)
endlocal & call :doit %a% & (goto :EOF)

You would have to use a separate utility/program to parse the data.
It's relatively simple with Perl...

Alternatively, how about launching the Local Users and Groups MMC scanp-
in, going to Groups, removing all but the name column (View menu) and
then exporting the list (right-click on "Groups" in the tree view).
