    • I'ld not use that script without modifications. Is defines a dictionary but does not use is and is simply copies the member, but dows not cleanup the target. It uses as "function" but it is only called once.
      Not a good sample for coding simple functions.

      Bi it should work.
    • Ok here a shorter version (does not remove objects from the target membership list)

      strSGroupDN = "CN=Source Group,OU=Users,DC=NWTraders,DC=com"
      strDGroupDN = "CN=Destination Group,OU=Users,DC=NWTraders,DC=com"
      set objDGroup = GetObject("LDAP://"
