====== Add AD group with long name as local group member ====== When you try to add an Active Directory group with name longer than 25 characters (in total), net.exe command will not work; but you can use the following VB script instead Set objLocalGroup = GetObject("WinNT://./Administrators") Set objADGroup1 = GetObject("WinNT://DOMAINNAME/DOMAINGROUPNAME") objLocalGroup.Add(objADGroup1.ADsPath) Set objLocalGroup = Nothing Set objADGroup = Nothing
