Windows Server 2008: command line for Active Directory groups

This is a video on how to work with Active Directory groups. I’m using a Server 2008 domain controller, but these commands will work on Server 2003 as well. I use these commands to add members to, create, move, rename, and delete groups.

Commands used…
dsadd group “cn=Marketing,OU=Groups,DC=my,dc=domain” -samid Marketing -secgrp yes -scope g

dsmod group “cn=marketing,ou=groups,dc=my,dc=domain” -addmbr “cn=L Prosser,ou=people,dc=my,dc=domain”

dsget group “cn=sales,ou=groups,dc=my,dc=domain” -members | dsmod group “cn=marketing,ou=groups,dc=my,dc=domain” -addmbr

dsmove “cn=marketing,ou=groups,dc=my,dc=domain” -newname “public relations”

dsadd ou “ou=marketing,dc=my,dc=domain”

dsmove “cn=public relations,ou=groups,dc=my,dc=domain” -newparent “ou=marketing,dc=my,dc=domain”

dsrm “cn=public relations,ou=marketing,dc=my,dc=domain”
