Add OU users into a Security Group

[eyetea]

Is there a quick / easy way to add all the users in an OU into a security group?

 

After caffeine... right click add to group...

Multiple select not work for adding to groups?

There's no doubt a PowerShell command for this, but in ADUC you can select the required users together and pick 'Add to a group' from a right-click (on the selected users, not on the OU object itself).

 

Tread carefully though, as there's no right-click option to remove from a group.

A quick google and this might help.. http://www.oxfordsbsguy.com/2015/03/09/powershell-how-to-add-all-users-in-an-ou-to-a-security-group-using-get-aduser-and-add-adgroupmember/

Get-ADUser -SearchBase 'OU=External,OU=User Accounts,DC=Sch,DC=UK' -filter * | select samAccountName | Add-ADGroupMember -identity '%YourGroupName%'

 

That would do it off top of my head....

Or open the group, go to members > add, open advanced, change locations to the OU in question then click find now and select everyone (click at the top then shift click at the bottom) then ok and done
