I need to automate the following task:
I receive regularly a SAMName list of groups which varies between 10 to 30.
I want to check if each group exists in the main domain, if it exists I need to check the group’s scope, if it is local I have to search it in another domain and add the user to both of them and if it does not exist I need to add it to create a list of non existing groups.
I use Windows XP with admin pack (dsadd, dsquery, dsget…)
with command line I can for example use : dsquery group –d maindomain.local –samid group_name
If it exists I get the groups’ UPN name and if it does not exist I get a blank ligne.
My question is should I learn Vbscript or PowerShell to automate the task?
