Automatic group assign to user within OU

Question

Hello everyone,

I have a question. I have an OU with a few users in it. Is there a possiblity that whenever I add a user to the OU that they automatically get a specific group assigned? Perhaps a script?

This would be nice to have since every user within this OU needs the group. If this can be done automatically that would be nice.
I'd love to hear all the possibilities!

This is on Windows Server!

Hello,

Quick way, you can have a script like this run on a schedule

$Users = Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase 'OU=TestOU,DC=Domain,DC=local' -SearchScope OneLevel -Properties MemberOf
$Group = 'CN=TestGroup,DC=Domain,DC=local'
foreach ($User in $Users) {
    if ($User.MemberOf -notcontains $Group) {
        Add-ADGroupMember $Group -Members $User.SamAccountName
    }
}
