The gui is finished but i have problems completing my code. what do i need to add to my code that the create button creates the groups? furthermore i think that an assignment to the selection is missing

CodePudding user response：

Instead of the now undefined function pinginfo, you will need to check what radiobutton is checked in "Create IN" and from that define the -Path property for New-ADGroup.
Then test if a name is filled in, test if this name does not already exist and use that for -Name.
The checked radiobutton in "Group Section" decides the parameter -GroupCategory and the one in "Group Type" is for -GroupScope.

When you have collected those values and tested if they were filled in, create the group.

Something like this perhaps

$Create.Add_Click({
    # create an empty parameters object for New-ADGroup
    $params = '' | Select-Object Path, Name, GroupCategory, GroupScope
    if ($A.Checked) { $params.Path = 'TheOU for option A' }
    elseif( $B.Checked) { $params.Path = 'TheOU for option B' }
    else {
        # display an error that there MUST be a choice here
        # I'll leave this as exercise for you
        return
    }

    $params.Name = $Textbox.Text.Trim()
    # test if there is a name given and if so, test if that name does not already exist in AD
    if ([string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($params.Name) -or (Get-ADGroup -Filter "Name -eq $($params.Name)")) {
        # display an error about the name field
        # I'll leave this as exercise for you
        return
    }

    if ($lokal.Checked) {$params.GroupScope = $lokal.Text}
    elseif ($global.Checked) {$params.GroupScope = $global.Text}
    elseif ($universal.Checked) {$params.GroupScope = $universal.Text}
    else {
        # display an error that there MUST be a choice here
        # I'll leave this as exercise for you
        return
    }

    if ($security.Checked) {$params.GroupCategory = $security.Text}
    elseif ($Distribution.Checked) {$params.GroupCategory = $Distribution.Text}
    else {
        # display an error that there MUST be a choice here
        # I'll leave this as exercise for you
        return
    }

    # next create the group
    New-ADGroup @params
})

@Theo please have a look. I still need to input a GroupScope. After thet, the script says it is a wrong name but my name looks like test-group
