Unable to find all members in Active Directory groups

I am writing a VB.Net application that lists all the groups (190+) and their corresponding members from our OU and its subOUs.  However, after trying VB.Net DirectorySearcher and an additional 4-6 different vbscripts I am incurring the same problem.  I have a group (sqlServer) that is showng to be empty, even though it has a user acount (userSQL) if I check it manually.  The subOU that holds sqlServer has another two groups, sqlAgent and sqlText, that both have userSQL as their only member and the scripts list userSQL.  I do not understand why userSQL is listed for the first 2 groups and not the third.  I have manually checked 30+ groups and this is the only anomaly so far.  I didn't post any code since it is happening with 6 different scripts.  Thanks.

P.S. I woud prefer to not remove/insert the user because of that group's function.

What is the scope of the group? Global or Domain Local or Universal?

Also, try this powershell and see the result.

Get-QADGroupMember -Identity "groupname"

To give more suggestion, please share the ldap filter you are using inside the code.

Good Luck

Chris,

You are correct that sqlServer is userSQL's primary group.  I'm going to look into this more.  Thanks
