RE: [ActiveDir] Merging Multiple AD Groups

[Dean Wells]

I haven't directly investigated the issues you're having so a solution may well be available as opposed to the workaround outlined below -

 

for /f "tokens=*" %m in ('dsget group "CN=domain admins,cn=users,dc=mset,dc=local" -members') do @dsget group "cn=other admins,dc=mset,dc=local" -members | findstr /i %m >nul || @echo add your dsstuff.exe here - %m

 

(if used in a batch file, replace all occurrences of %m with %%m)

Hi Mike,

I have checked the archives and I can't find your post.

 

I don't suppose you have the solution to hand.....

 

thanks

Hi Frank,

    Ignore my previous post; no enough sleep I guess.  I posted a solution to this newsgroup on 7/3/2005.  Check the archives.

dsget group "CN=USNY_HR_RO,OU=GGroups,dc=Intara,dc=com" -members | dsmod group "CN=USHR_PROJSAP_RO,ou=GGroups,dc=Intara,dc=com" -addmbr -c

 

The fact that some users are in both Group 1 & 2 wouldn't cause a problem would it?

Hmm.. the -c should have worked.  Wonder why it didn't in your case? Can you post that syntax that you used?

Dan - I have also tried the -c switch to no avail.

 

thanks

I have two existing groups:

 

1. USAT_HR_RO (24 members)

2. USNY_HR_RO (45 members)

 

I created a new group to merge members of both groups above into the new group.

 

3. USHR_PROJSAP_RO (0 members)

 

Some users are members of groups 1 & 2.

 

I want to copy the users from groups 1 & 2 into the new group 3 so this would contain 69 members.

 

I tried the following command 1st....

 

dsget group "CN=USAT_HR_RO,OU=GGroups,dc=Intara,dc=com" -members | dsmod group "CN=USHR_PROJSAP_RO,ou=GGroups,dc=Intara,dc=com" -addmbr
 

then I tried the following command

 

dsget group "CN=USNY_HR_RO,OU=GGroups,dc=Intara,dc=com" -members | dsmod group "CN=USHR_PROJSAP_RO,ou=GGroups,dc=Intara,dc=com" -addmbr

 

but this does not work...does this make sense?
