Hi Santhosh,
The post is quite a useful one. I am new to this PS scripts, and would like to know, whether it reads our CSV or a text file, and add each users found in the CSV to the AD group, "TestGroup1" as in example. If it runs for a second time, the user already present in the Group, would it still add, or it skips and addthe next user? How does it work?
Thank you it helped me a lot
Hi,
what about adding users on local server rather than Domain controller ?
Needz
very helpful PS script for my application. I needed to add a long list of domain users into several admin groups. This script saved me tons of time.
richard-lee-morris,
Thanks and appreciate your feedback!
Can you please let me know how can we use the same script to add a user to a secuity group in another trusted domain, This script only works for logged in domain.
thank you for this useful easy article.
Excellent script quick question though I have AD groups which are long and are separated eg BR-Systems Support the script doesn't like the space between Systems and Support
Thanks for the feedback!
You have a few options. Try with "GroupName" "BR-Systems Support "
Other option is to define a variable with your group name.
Import-module ActiveDirectory
$GroupName = "BR-Systems Support"
Import-CSV "C:\Scripts\Users.csv" | % {
Add-ADGroupMember -Identity $GroupName -Member $_.UserName
}
I still get an error as following ( using email adress and just the initial and last name ) still errors !
Add-ADGroupMember : Cannot find an object with identity
Try this:
Import-module ActiveDirectory
Import-CSV C:\Scripts\Users.csv | % {Add-ADGroupMember -Identity GroupName -Member $_.UserName}
without the Quotation Marks and for GroupName use your own groupname you need to use.

Hi, is there a way to also specify the group that each user is a member of in the CSV file and the script will add it accordingly? So there would be multiple users added to multiple groups. Can I also specify a security group under the UserName column in the CSV? Sometimes we have a security group that's a member of another group. Thanks for the help!
