This script enumerates all the Administrators in the Builin container.  If you like to learn by changing items in the code, well here is a challenge for you, adapt my script to list members of your OU.

'Script to List all the Administrators in the Builtin container
'Script created by Guy Thomas
'Feel free to adapt names

Set objGroup = GetObject _
("LDAP://cn=Administrators, cn=Builtin, dc=CP,dc=com")
For each objMember in objGroup.Members
Wscript.Echo objMember.Name
Next

Challenge

  1. Alter the cn=Administrators to the name of another group.  Note it must be the name of a real group.
  2. Alter the cn=Builtin to OU=yourou.  Note you use OU here not cn.  Its an organization unit not a container.
