$containerDN = "CN=Users,DC=domain,DC=com"
$userPath = "Adaxes://CN=John Smith,CN=Users,DC=domain,DC=com"

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

$searcher = $service.OpenObject("Adaxes://$containerDN", $null, $null, 0)

$searcher.Criteria = New-AdmCriteria "group" {name -contains "Accounting"}
$searcher.SearchScope = "ADS_SCOPE_SUBTREE"
try
{
    # Execute search
    $searchResultIterator = $searcher.ExecuteSearch()

    # Add the user to groups
    foreach ($searchResult in $searchResultIterator.FetchAll())
    {
        $groupPath = $searchResult.AdsPath
        $group = $service.OpenObject($groupPath, $null, $null, 0)
        $group.Add($userPath)
