Subject: PowerShell - pipeline input help
I'm trying to write a simple PS script to put the membership of an OU in to a
security group. I can do this with a bit of code like below, which seems to
work fine.
$users = get-aduser -filter * -searchbase "OU=Test, OU=User Accounts,
DC=fabrikam, DC=com"
foreach($user in $users)
{
add-adgroupmember groupname $user
}
However, for my PowerShell education, I tried just piping the output of
get-aduser in to add-adgroupmember.
get-aduser -filter * -searchbase "OU=Test, OU=User Accounts, DC=fabrikam,
DC=com" | add-adgroupmember groupname *
This fails miserably. I'm guessing I don't have the correct parameter syntax
for add-adgroupmember? Can any of our PS pros point me in the right direction
for the answer?
Thanks,
-Malcolm
