It's not too hard to do it with native win32com: <code> import win32com.client # # Adjust to suit, obviously... # dn = "OU=Test,OU=Camden,DC=XX,DC=XX,DC=XX" ou = win32com.client.GetObject("LDAP://%s" % dn) group = ou.Create("group", "cn=testgroup") group.displayName = "Test Group" group.SetInfo() </code> If you're already using the active_directory module anyway, the current git version [*] (note to self: make a new release) offers a bit of syntax sugar here: <code> import active_directory dn = "OU=Test,OU=Camden,DC=XX,DC=XX,DC=XX" ou = active_directory.AD_object("LDAP://%s" % dn) ou['cn=testgroup2'] = dict(Class="group", displayName="Test Group2") group = ou['testgroup2'] # # or # group = ou.add( "cn=testgroup3", Class="group", displayName="Test Group3" ) </code> The __setitem__ approach is a little clunky; it's there more to be parallel with its slightly easier __getitem__ and __delitem__ siblings.
