You have to pay for this software but its well worth it:

Or you can use the CSVDE tool which Imports and exports data from Active Directory....

I've bodged this script together:

dsquery user "OU=Staff,DC=blah,DC=sch,DC=int" -limit 3 > userlist-output.txt
for /f "tokens=*" %%i in (userlist-output.txt) do @echo ------ >> groups-output.txt && dsget user %%i -q -L -samid -display >> groups-output.txt && @echo ------ >> groups-output.txt && echo Groups: >> groups-output.txt && dsget user %%i -memberof -expand >> groups-output.txt && @echo ------ >> groups-output.txt
findstr -iV "dsget" groups-output.txt > groups-output2.txt
move /Y groups-output2.txt groups-output.txt
notepad groups-output.txt

"OU=Staff,DC=blah,DC=sch,DC=int" would have to be changed to the full path to your staff OU. I'm not sure if you need the adminpak installed on XP to have access to dsget and dsquery. 2003 should have them by default though.

It will expand group memberships, so if they are a member of GTP-TRAINEES and that group is a member of TEACHERS it should list both. That means it can be slow to run, so get it working nicely then change the limit from 3 to 1000 and go make a brew.
