Hi All
i have an OU, which has DLs and AD security groups. when i search for an AD group i am able to find it but when i go to the OU i am unable to find that AD group as i want to make changes in the Attribute editor of few AD groups. This OU may have more than 4000 groups. experts guide me how to view all the groups. i believe there is a view limitation.
Hi,
Within ADUC it limits the number of objects that are display in an OU, the default is something like 2000, this can be changed.
Select the Filter Options from the View menu
Change the Maximum number of items displayed per folder to 5000
Then select the OU and press F5 to refresh the items.
Gary.
Hi Glenn !
You can see all the groups with the Powershell AD Module.
Using thats commands for this:
Get-AdGroup
But, if you really have 4000 groups in your AD, you can export this command for a CSV with:
Get-AdGroup | Export-CSV "Directory"
You can see the documentation about the command Get-AdGroup, here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/activedirectory/get-adgroup?view=windowsserver2022-ps
i have an AD group in that OU lets say Group-S1 and i want to add an attribute i.e Attribute:department value set to sales.
i am unable to see this group how to add the attribute
Try with Powershell:
Get-AdGroup -Identity "GroupName"
For see if your group really exists
$attributevalue = "Value your need add"
Set-AdObject -Identity "GroupName" -Add @{attribute=$attributevalue}
