Modify PowerShell Properties of a Security or Distribution Group

Problem

You want to modify properties of a specific security or distribution group.

Solution

To modify a security or distribution group, use the [adsi] type shortcut to bind to the group in Active Directory, and then call the Put() method to modify properties. Finally, call the SetInfo() method to apply the changes.

$group = [adsi] "LDAP://localhost:389/cn=Management,ou=West,ou=Sales,dc=Fabrikam,dc=COM"

PS >$group.Put("Description", "Managers in the Sales West Organization") PS >$group.SetInfo()

Discussion

The solution retrieves the Management group from the Sales West OU. It then sets the description to Managers in the Sales West Organization, and then applies those changes to Active Directory.
