Add users to Group via Script - [WP]

**ABRIELLE** · 29-01-2008

At my office we are running an Active Directory with Sharepoint. There are few scripts which as an Admin I need to run daily morning so that all our Users get added to our AD with and without emails. But a small problem is that there is no way I can check if any user is already added in the group. So I wanted a Script which can check this and if it founds any user already in the group, instead of adding him again, it should move on and add new users.

Do anyone have such script? Any suggestions?

As far as I know adding the users to any group is just insignificant. However can I know why you don’t want to add the already added members again ? There is no disadvantage for the same. You are just trying to make your job more hectic.

Hello ABRIELLE. I found few links which will surely help you out. Just check these:

Build a list of all current members into a table

Build a second table of all users in AD

Compare the two tables and insert members that are not in the security group
