Summary: Use Windows PowerShell to create a security group in Active Directory.
How can I use Windows PowerShell to create a security group in Active Directory?
In Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2008 R2, use the New-ADGroup cmdlet.
To create a new global group in the default Users folder of Active Directory called “Finance”:
NEW-ADGroup –name “Finance” –groupscope Global
If it needs to exist in different path in Active Directory, specify the path by its distinguished name:
NEW-ADGroup –name “Finance” –groupscope Global –path “OU=Offices,DC=Contoso,DC=local”
Hi Dr, apologies if this is not the correct topic for this , how can I to create and invoke a a File “Mygroups.csv” with all info from
–name “xxx”
-SamAccountName “sameasname”
-GroupCategory Security
-GroupScope Global
-DisplayName “Sameasname Administrators”
-Path “CN=Users,DC=contoso,DC=local”
-Description “Members of this group are %name% Administrators”
Thanks !
Like
“New-ADGroup ./mygroups.csv”
