How can I use a script to add users to an Active Directory (AD) group?

A. First, you connect to a group via a script, as the following code shows:

    
set objGroup = GetObject("LDAP://CN="secgroup,ou=testing,dc=savilltech,dc=com")    

Then you add members to the group via the PutEx function.    

Const ADS_PROPERTY_APPEND = 3  objGroup.PutEx ADS_PROPERTY_APPEND, _      "member", Array("cn=user1,dc=savilltech,dc=com")  if err.number0 then       wscript.echo "Error adding to group " & err.number, err.description      err.Clear  end if    

objGroup.setInfo

You can have multiple users in the array to be added to the group by separating the entries with a comma. For example, to add two users to the group, use this format:

  objGroup.PutEx ADS_PROPERTY_APPEND, _      "member", Array("cn=user1,dc=savilltech,dc=com", _         "cn=user2,dc=savilltech,dc=com")
