add list of users into Global Security Group
Hi
I have a Global Security group that I need to import over 100 users and I tried this. Where am I going wrong with this?
import-module activedirectory
$list =import-csv "C:\test\export\userlist.c
forEach ($user in $list)
{
add-ADGroupMember -identity mytestgroup -member $list
}

Maybe stating the way-too-obvious here, but you're using "$List" as member to add, not "$User".
On closer inspection, you're using the import incorrectly as well.
Either your csv is a real csv with a header row, in which case you need to use the property (column) of the rows you imported, for example "-member $User.DistinguishedName", or you're using a flat file without header, in which case you need to use "Get-Content" instead of "Import-Csv".

hmm, thanks. I changed it to get-content and error changed. I also attached the csv file? did it need to be .txt?

@kazum-
Yes, generally you'd want to either paste the contents of the CSV into a code block or attach a .txt or .csv file (office documents can execute macros when downloaded so most experts won't open them.) You can also use a screenshot (png, jpg, etc)

John,Test,Blue
This code would do the following:
$list = import-csv "C:\test\export\userlist.csv"
foreach ($user in $list) {
$output = $user.First + " " + $user.Last + "'s favorite color is " + $user.FavoriteColor + "."
Write-Host $output
