PowerShell Script of the Week: June 1st 2015
A new month.. How exciting.
This script was used inside my org to create a massive amount of groups which were already named and output to a .CSV file. Thankfully we have powershell and didn’t have to do this by hand.
The original script had a few problems that I had to fix up, but I honestly forgot what they were. A ll credits to Hican Marius (@hicannl)PowerShell

Group creation skipped!” } Catch { Create the group if it doesn’t exist $create = New-ADGroup -Name $item.GroupName -GroupScope $item.GroupType -Path ($($item.GroupLocation)+”,”+$($searchbase)) Write-Host “Group $($item.GroupName) created!” } } Else { Write-Host “Target OU can’t be found! Group creation skipped!” } } |
