Shadow Group - Powershell Script
Does anyone have a Powershell Script to add users to a shadow group?
Our DCs are Server 2008 (non R2 - Had some DHCP issues when we tried deploying R2, MS said to hold off on it) so I cant use the AD Cmdlets - or atleast, I dont think I can?

I'm curious what issues you ran in to? We deploy lots of R2 servers and have not yet had any issues with DHCP. -

I really wish I could tell ya! lol. I wasnt the tech that initially installed the DCs. I would have preferred R2. -

Looking at them now -- thanks.
I am trying to automate an OU being added to a specific group (for student accounts). I have their account creation automated using a CSV export from our student info system and then imported into AD using a scheduled VBS script.
Possibly looking at doing fine-grain password management also. Not sure at this point. I would prefer not to.
