That's great - I used a reformatted CSV file and it worked well. How can I log any errors and the successes of each action to a log file so I know where failures might occur?

tab-delimited file containing the users and the groups they need to be assigned to

Import-CSV.txt

I need to assign many users to many groups in Active Directory using a tab-delimited TXT file as the source. I would prefer to use Powershell as I am trying to learn it. Using Powershell v1.0 on Windows XP Sp2. An example of the file I would use is attached.

Much thanks!

Add many users to many different groups in Active Directory using Powershell, reading from a tab-delimited file.

Windows PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management framework from Microsoft, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built on the .NET Framework. PowerShell provides full access to the Component Object Model (COM) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), enabling administrators to perform administrative tasks on both local and remote Windows systems as well as WS-Management and Common Information Model (CIM) enabling management of remote Linux systems and network devices.

Powershell

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Active Directory

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
