[pecomees]

In my windows 2000 domain I need to be able to add security groups to specific OU's FROM THE COMMAND LINE. (in order to script large amount of new groups) Does anybody know how to do this in a windows 2000 domain?? Thanks in advance!

You can use dsadd from the commandline :

DSadd is only on 2003 unless you dload the admin tools...

Its also going to be in the NTSH Toolsuite and CorePak for Windows 2000 and Windows XP

Dsadd would come in handy yes. Since this only seems to work for 2003, I used a bit more complex VBS script. It works. Thanks four your help!

dssadd and the rest of the Active Directory management tools have been added to CorePak, Both for Windows 2000 and Windows XP/Server 2003. dsadd, dsquery etc. Work with Windows 2000 as well as Server 2003.
