Active Directory Administration Cookbook

Using Windows PowerShell

Use the following lines of PowerShell on a system with the Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell installed:

Import-Module ActiveDirectoryNew-ADGroup -GroupCategory Security -GroupScope Global -Name "Group" -Path "OU=Organizational Unit,DC=lucernpub,DC=com" -SamAccountName "Group"

When you create a group, some fields are automatically populated and many settings are in their default settings. These settings are recommended, but can be changed after creating a group, either in the user interface or through commands.
