Set OU for group

Question

Hi,

I came across this in the SDK for setting the OU in a Business Rule before object creation

$destOU = $Context.Action.TargetContainer

if ($destOU.AdsPath.Contains("Marketing Users"))
{
$newDN = "OU=Marketing Department,DC=company,DC=com"
$newDestOU = $Context.BindToObjectByDN(newDN)
$Context.Action.TargetContainer = $newDestOU
}

I have tried to use this in a BR Before Creating a Group to set the OU based in the initiator, however I get the error:

Property 'TargetContainer' cannot be found on this object; make sure it exists and is settable.

Will this not work on a group? Ideally I want to set the OU before creation, rather than create it then move, is there a way?

Thanks,

Hello,

No, it is impossible to replace the OU where a new group will be created with the help of a script. We suggest that you move newly created groups after they are created with the help of a Business Rule. For examples on how to accomplish this task, take a look at the following tutorials:

• Automatically Add Users to Groups by Department
• Automatically Change Group Membership Using Scripts
