$ns = New-Object "Softerra.Adaxes.Adsi.AdmNamespace"
$service = $ns.GetServiceDirectly("localhost")

# Bind to the group
$groupDN = "CN=SalesGroup,CN=Groups,DC=domain,DC=com"
$group = $service.OpenObject("Adaxes://$groupDN", $null, $null, 0)

# Update the group
$group.Put("description", "My Description")
$group.SetInfo()
PowerShell
Import-Module Adaxes  

$identity = "SalesGroup" # sAMAccountName 
# $identity = "CN=SalesGroup,CN=Groups,DC=domain,DC=com"  # DN 
# $identity = "{EB5FEB21-E648-42AD-B86C-89D3C6807953}" # GUID 
# $identity = "S-1-5-21-573937-2149998-410785" # SID

Set-AdmGroup -Identity $identity -Description "My Description" -Server "domain.com" `
    -AdaxesService localhost
