#117533 - 2004-04-08 04:07 PM Add Computer to Active Directory Group
MrGravis MrGravis Lurker Registered: 2004-04-08 Posts: 3	Hello all! I am working on a script that will add a computer to a group based on ip address. I got the ip address part working, and can tell what group the computer should be in, but I don't know how to add a computer to a group in AD. There are many examples on the site here on how to add users to a group, GroupAdd() for example, but that doesn't seem to work for computer objects. Any ideas?

You may want to give the LDAP provider a go. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

Funny, I just found that and was coming back here to share the info.

Code:

' This VBScript code adds a member to a group.

' ------ SCRIPT CONFIGURATION ------

strGroupDN = "GROUP"  ' e.g. cn=SalesGroup,ou=Groups,dc=rallencorp,dc=com

strMemberDN = "OBJECT" ' e.g. cn=jsmith,cn=users,dc=rallencorp,dc=com

' ------ END CONFIGURATION ---------



set objGroup = GetObject("LDAP://" & strGroupDN)

' Add a member

objGroup.Add("LDAP://" & strMemberDN)

That should be just as effective with local and global groups. _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/
