I cannot get all the user groups to display. When clicking on People and Groups - All Groups, only the first page displays, in my case, half way through the letter A. There are 100's of users groups in our collection. I have created a fake group named ZZZ to determine when I can view all the groups. There is no option for a 'view next page', there is no option to set how many groups to view per page. I have tried copying the code from a group which has 'view next page, 51 - 100' option, but that doesn't work either. I have asked countless forums as well as our techies at Microsoft, no-one can seem to come up with a solution. How do I view all the groups in a collection? It doesn't matter whether I look from the top level site or somewhere down the structure, the option to view all is simply not there. Please help.

If you have SharePoint Designer, try this:
1. Fire up SPD, log in to your site collection and open DataView > Manage Data Sources.
2. Expand XML Web Services and choose connect to web service
3. In service description, enter http://(or https:// if you have it)yoursite/_vti_bin/UserGroup.asmx?WSDL
4. Click Connect.
5. For Operation, pick GetGroupCollectionFromSite.
6. If you are logged into your domain with the account you are using for SPD, click the Login tab and choose Windows Auth, otherwise enter your username/password.
7. Hit OK and now right-click your new web service and choose Show Data.If this works, you'll see an XML schema with your groups enumerated. Create a new ASPX page in SPD. Insert a web part zone and highlight your schema in the dataview. Above the schema, pick Insert as Multi-item View while selecting your new zone.
You should see a list of all groups for the site collection. Click the < at the top right of the new dataview web part. Click Paging in the menu. Set the paging so it helps the page load faster (unless you only need this view).
After saving the page, change the permissions so only you can see it (no need to have everyone finding this page or have search returning it in results).
If you have a C# developer handy, show him this page http://forums.asp.net/p/1012092/2107319.aspx for ideas of how to handle your "report."
