Copying Group Membership in Active Directory with Powershell

   | #active-directory  #powershell  #windows-server  

I had a requirement to configure a bunch of user accounts identically with regards to group membership. I wrote a small powershell script so that a single account could be configured and then all group memberships copied from that group account.

Below is the script I used:

Import-Module ActiveDirectory
$sourceUser = ""
$destUser = ""
Get-ADUser -Identity $sourceUser -Properties memberof | Select-Object -ExpandProperty memberof | Add-ADGroupMember -Members $destUser -PassThru | Select-Object -Property SamAccountName
