Create Dynamic Group in PowerShell

The script creates a brand new Group and converts it to Dynamic upon setting the Membership rules.

If the group already exists, remove the "New-QADGroup" command.

This was tested in Active Roles 7.4.1.

NOTE: This is provided "AS IS" and is not supported via One Identity Support.

# First create the group

$GroupName = (New-QADGroup -Name <name> -ParentContainer "<DN of target OU>")

# Grab the DN from the newly created Group


$DN = $GroupName.DN

# Connect to Active Roles object

$objGroup = [ADSI] "EDMS://$DN"

$objRuleCollection = $objGroup.MembershipRuleCollection

$rule1 = New-Object -ComObject "EDSIManagedUnitCondition"

# Change to your Domain

$rule1.Base = "EDMS://DC=domain,DC=com"

#

# Set the Dynamic Group Membership rules here. Note that this must be a valid LDAP filter

#

$rule1.Filter = "(&(objectCategory=computer)(objectClass=computer))"

$rule1.Type=1

$objRuleCollection.Add($rule1)

$objGroup.SetInfo()
