Here is a script that I used recently on a project that might be of use to you all.
You need to pass the .csv file as a parameter and let the script do the rest!
The file has to be in the format of:
ADGroupName MyGroup1 MyGroup2 MyGroup3
The script is below:
####################################################################################################### # # Author: Aaron Saikovski - Aaron.Saikovski@microsoft.com # Version: 1.0 - Built using V1.0 RTM build of powershell # Date: 13th May 2009 # Description: Creates AD Domain global groups # The script assumes it's run on a domain controller. # It could also be run remotely and just adjust the script with a DC name # Usage: ImportADGroups.ps1 ADGroupFile.csv # Example - ImportSPGroupsV1.1.ps1 "ADGroupFile.csv" # #######################################################################################################
#Set params param ( [string] $ADGroupFile = "" )
########################################################################################### #Set the DC, OU domain information - Set depending on your environment $objOU = [ADSI]"LDAP://localhost:389/OU=YourOUName,DC=Example,DC=com" ###########################################################################################
#Check that we have an AD grouplist if ($ADGroupFile -ne "") { #loop over the groups in the .CSV file ipcsv $ADGroupFile | foreach {
#get the ADGroupname from the .CSV $ADGroupName = $_.ADGroupName; #ensure the site name isnt empty or blank if ($ADGroupName -ne "") { Write-Host -ForegroundColor green "###########################################################################################"; Write-Host -ForegroundColor green "Adding ADGroup - $ADGroupName"; #Create the AD Group $objGroup = $objOU.Create("group", "CN=" + $ADGroupName) $objGroup.Put("sAMAccountName", $ADGroupName ) $objGroup.SetInfo() Write-Host -ForegroundColor green "###########################################################################################"; Write-Host; } }
Write-Host; Write-Host -ForegroundColor Yellow "**AD Group Processing complete**"; } else { Write-Host -ForegroundColor red "You must specify the AD group file."; }
Thanks for that. Really came in handy.
