I had a similar problem.  It was solved by this syntax:

 

dsget group "<DN of source group>" -members | dsmod group "<DN of destination group>" –addmbr

 

This way you are only going to add members that are not already there.

dsmod failed:CN=USHR_PROJSAP_RO,ou=GGroups,dc=Intara,dc=com:The specified account name is already a member of the local group

 

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?
