How can I verify if a group exists in Active Directory on a certain domain
In Windows you can use the "net" command to do this quite easily:
net group /domain groupName
Which checks if groupName exists in your current domain.
Is there something equivalent in Mac?
Solution 1:
To find a user:
dscl "/Active Directory/DOMAIN/All Domains" read /Users/user
To find a group:
dscl "/Active Directory/DOMAIN/All Domains" read /Groups/group
