Powershell: Add User to a lot of Groups

Update: Dimitry Sotnikov has posted a great article about the new cmdlets. You can read his post here.  After reading Dimitry’s post, I created a new script.

For some test purposes I created a new test user. This test user has to be a member off al my application groups in Active Directory. This job can easily  be done with Powershell and the Quest AD cmdlets.

$User = Read-Host ("Username")
Get-QADGroup -Name 'GG_APL_*' -NotContainsIndirectMember $User `
    | Add-QADGroupMember -Member $User

To verify the changes, you can run the following script:

$User = Read-Host ("Username")
Get-QADGroup $User | Select Name
