add groups to active directory with powershell-CodePudding

I have a powershell GUI to create groups in active directory. The GUI looks like this.

Actually I can't manage to define the options in lines 16-21 based on my selection in the GUI to create the groups and then assign the appropriate command to the Create button. I hope someone can help me today.

The code looks like

CodePudding user response：

Firstly, I would create variables for GroupScope, GroupCategory and Path.

$GroupScope= ""
$GroupCategory= ""
$Path= ""

GroupScope specifies in what scope the group will be created: DomainLocal(0), Global(1) or Universal(2). GroupCategory specifies in what category the group is: Distribution(0) or Security(1). Path specifies the path to the OU in your Domain.

Secondly, you'll need to save the user inputs to these variables. Group Name as a String and the rest as an int. You can use your event handler to get which button was pressed.

Finally, for the Create button you'll need to:

Write all user inputs to the Variables
Put all this information into a New-ADGroup cmdlet (I'd save the whole statement in a variable)
and execute the statement.

Example

$GroupScope= ""
$GroupCategory= ""
$Path= ""           //will be overwritten by Button A or B, depending on which was selected

$SPSG.Text     = "A"
$SPSG.Cursor   = [System.Windows.Forms.Cursors]::Hand
$SPSG.Add_Click({$script:Path = "PathToYourOU"}) //Change path to OU option A
$groupBox.Controls.Add($SPSG)


#### B button ###################################################################
$FSG          = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.RadioButton
$FSG.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(150,20)
$FSG.Size     = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(150,20)
$FSG.Text     = "B"
$FSG.Cursor   = [System.Windows.Forms.Cursors]::Hand
$FSG.Add_Click({$script:Path = "PathToYourOU"}) //change path to OU option B
$groupBox.Controls.Add($FSG)
