Example 16-8 1
PS C:\>Copy-DRAGroup -Identifier "Groupsource" -Domain MyDomain.corp -DynamicFilterRootContainer "OU=OU01,DC=MyDom,DC=corp" -DynamicFilterLDAPQuery "(&(objectClass=user)(objectCategory=person))" -DynamicFilterIncludeChildren
-Properties @{distinguishedName="CN=GROUP123,OU=Accounting,DC=MyDomain,DC=corp"; WhiteList="CN=Add Me,OU=XXX,DC=MyDom,DC=corp","CN=Add Me2,OU=YYY,DC=MyDom,DC=corp"; BlackList="CN=Skip Me,OU=OU01,DC=MyDom,DC=corp","CN=Skip Me2,OU=OU01,DC=MyDom,DC=corp"}
This command example copies a dynamic group by specifying the source Identifier and the DynamicFilterLDAPQuery and DynamicFilterRootContainer parameters. The distinguishedName will become the destination dynamic group name. DynamicFilterIncludeChildren indicates that the group includes objects from the DynamicFilterRootContainer and all of its children. Group members may also include the two accounts listed in the WhiteList property, even though the accounts do not match the filter criteria. The two BlackList accounts will be excuded from the group, even though they are users in the DynamicFilterRootContainer.
Example 16-9 2
PS C:\>Copy-DRAGroup -Identifier "Groupsource" -NoCopyMembers -Properties @{distinguishedName="CN=Group123,OU=Tax,DC=MyDomain,DC=corp"} -domain MyDomain.corp
This command example will copy the group named Groupsource to a new group named Group123 in the Tax OU in MyDomain.corp. The members of Groupsource will not be copied to Group123. Otherwise, the properties of Group123 will be the same as the properties of Groupsource.
Example 16-10 3
PS C:\>Copy-DRAGroup -Identifier "CN=Groupsource,OU=Accounting,DC=MyDomain,DC=corp" -Properties @{distinguishedName="CN=Group123,OU=Tax,DC=MyDomain,DC=corp"} -domain MyDomain.corp
This command example will copy the group named Groupsource from the Accounting OU in MyDomain.corp to a new group named Group123 in the Tax OU in MyDomain.corp. The properties of Group123 will be the same as the properties of Groupsource.
Example 16-11 4
PS C:\>Copy-DRAGroup -Identifier "CN=Groupsource,OU=Accounting,DC=MyDomain,DC=corp" -Properties @{distinguishedName="CN=Group123,OU=Tax,DC=MyDomain,DC=corp";Description="Tax group"} -domain MyDomain.corp
This command example will copy the group named Groupsource from the Accounting OU in MyDomain.corp to a new group named Group123 in the Tax OU in MyDomain.corp. The Description property for Group123 will be set to 'Tax group'.
