Hi all, I was testing today with RES Wisdom 2009 SR1 (which is a great product ofcourse  ). My goal was (and still is) to create a module which creates a number of Active Directory Global Security Groups in one step. Let's say: i want to add 10 Global Groups, named Group1, Group2, etc etc. There is a possibility with 'dsadd group' command, but probably someone overhere knows a more charming way ... I like to hear from you guys ... |

Hi there! Thanx for the links Thomas.
So, i've created the following script:
Set objOU = GetObject("LDAP://OU=Groups,OU=GG,DC=DC01,DC=domain,DC=local")
For i = 1 To 10
Set objGroup = objOU.Create("Group", "CN=Groupname" & i)
objGroup.Put "sAMAccountName", "Groupname" & i
objGroup.SetInfo
Next
I've created two RES Wisdom Parameters: $[Groupname] (name of the groups) and $[Number] (number of groups to create). The script looks like this:
Set objOU = GetObject("LDAP://OU=Groups,OU=GG,DC=DC01,DC=domain,DC=local")
For i = 1 To $[Number]
Set objGroup = objOU.Create("Group", "CN=$[Groupname]" & i)
objGroup.Put "sAMAccountName", "$[Groupname]" & i
objGroup.SetInfo
Next
It all works fine! THNX Again

Hello guys, Am I missing the point here? There is a possiblility to create an AD task within RES Wisdom. The next thing you do is create a parameter for the group name. Now, You can schedule this task and use a CSV file to create as much AD groups as you like(on the parameter tab when scheduling a job! Here is the Building block attached..... Hope this one was helpful greetz, Eddie (by the way, after 10 years of scripting, I now try to prevent it..... ) |

Hi Eddie,
Welcome to forum!
The point was to create an "easy" way to create from 1->XXX number of groups. Of course, you're right - it can be achived by your BB above.
So again - nice post ;-)

Just putting some oil on the flames,
I have to agree with Eddie. Why script when you've got RES Wisdom?

Hi Eddie, No - I don't think you missed the point. In fact I think you hit it spot on. I've taken the liberty to quote your posting on the main sites' Wisdom BB archive: http://www.resug.com/wisdom-buildingblock-archive |
