It will give you more than what is required. If you dont want the extra information,then you can try this.. I took the query and removed the bits that you might not require.
declare @winlogins table
(acct_name sysname,
acct_type varchar(10),
act_priv varchar(10),
login_name sysname,
perm_path sysname)
declare @group sysname
declare recscan cursor for
select name from sys.server_principals
where type = 'G' and name not like 'NT%'
open recscan
fetch next from recscan into @group
while @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
begin
insert into @winlogins
exec xp_logininfo @group,'members'
fetch next from recscan into @group
end
close recscan
deallocate recscan
select
u.name,
u.type_desc,
wl.login_name,
wl.acct_type
from sys.server_principals u
inner join @winlogins wl on u.name = wl.perm_path
where u.type = 'G'
order by u.name,wl.login_name
