asked on How to import users from notepad to a security group.
Hi
I have a notepad called "AllUser" containing 1000 users. I have created a Universal security group in the active directory called "AllMkt" and would like to import all the 1000 users into this universal security group.
Is there any Powershell command and let me know the best way of doing this.
If it is Powershell please post me the exact syntax that i need to run.
Any tutorials and help much appreciated.

Hi
Exported only the GUIDs of all the 1000 users to a notepad and ran the above command and it gives an error.
Windows PowerShell

PS H:\> $members = Get-Content "c:\temp\AllUser.txt"
PS H:\> Add-ADGroupMember -Identity "AllMkt" -Members $members
Add-ADGroupMember : Cannot find an object with identity: '{56F21980-6F13-431+A2:A11
'DC=domain,DC=local'.
At line:1 char:1
+ Add-ADGroupMember -Identity "AllMkt" -Members $members

PS H:\>
I searched the corresponding username of the GUID and the user exist on our AD.
Please let me know if i am missing any thing.

Do i need to try with distinguishedNames, SIDs, or samAccountNames ?
When using GUIDs, they shouldn't have the braces at either end. Also, I see in the GUID for your error sample a "+" and a ":", there should be only letters, numbers, and hyphens ("-").
