Group Management

Add user to  Group.

·         Add-QADgroupmember -identity $groupName -member  $usern

·         get member  count from group

o   (get-qadgroup  "srv0_app_websense_marketing").members.count

List account Group Membership

·         get-qadmemberof twalters |select name, description | sort-object name | out-gridview

Add user's of  one group to another group

·         get-qadgroupmember "srv0testg1"  |  select name > testg.txt ; get-content .\testg.txt | foreach-object {  add-qadgroupmember -identity srv0testg2 -member $_}

Add One Users Groups to Another User

·         get-qadmemberof wsweatt | select name > c:\temp\wsweattgroups.txt; get-content c:\temp\wsweattgroups.txt | foreach-object { add-qadgroupmember $_ -member twalters}

·         get-qadmemberof wsweatt | foreach-object { add-qadgroupmember $_ -member twalters}

List members of  a group

·         get-qadgroupmember "Some Group Name" |  select name

·         get-qadgroupmember "Some Group Name" | where { $_  -match "TheirLastName" }

Distribution Groups 

·         List  Distribution Group information:

·         PS C:\Windows> get-qadgroup "DL – DLNAME" | format-list name, Alias, Mail, Managedby

·         One liner to list group membership:

·         get-qadgroupmember "DG - Name" |select Name

Script one-liner I ran to add users to group, after creating user list file called dglist:

·         get-content dglist | foreach-object { add-qadgroupmember -identity "DG Name" -member $_ }
