    Hi,

    Just trying to do something single :-) and query the DHCP DB for any clients with a hostname PC* and then add this to the AD security group "Group1" but the Add-ADGroupMember doesn't like the pipeline input it is getting to add the group :

    Get-DhcpServerv4Scope | Get-DhcpServerv4lease | where-object {$_.Hostname -like "PC*"} | ForEach-Object {Add-ADGroupMember -Identity "Group1" -Members $_.hostname}

    Any help would be great.

    Thanks

    Bill

    Add-AdGroupMember takes a computer object or a DistinguishedName only.

    Hi,

    Ok, I added the select hostname to the pipeline but still fails. 

    Get-DhcpServerv4Scope | Get-DhcpServerv4lease | where-object {$_.Hostname -like "PC*"} | select hostname | ForEach-Object {Add-ADGroupMember -Identity "Group1" -Members $_.hostname}

    Add-ADGroupMember : Cannot find an object with identity: 'PC01.Bill.Local' under: 'DC=BILL,DC=Local'.

    "hostname" will not work.  You must use a computer object or a computer DistinguishedName.

    $computer  = Get-AdComputer hostname
    Add-AdGroupMember group1 -Member $computer

    Hi,

    Ok, I added the select hostname to the pipeline but still fails. 

    Get-DhcpServerv4Scope | Get-DhcpServerv4lease | where-object {$_.Hostname -like "PC*"} | select hostname | ForEach-Object {Add-ADGroupMember -Identity "Group1" -Members $_.hostname}

    Add-ADGroupMember : Cannot find an object with identity: 'PC01.Bill.Local' under: 'DC=BILL,DC=Local'.

    Bill, this worked:

    $pc = Get-DhcpServerv4Scope | Get-DhcpServerv4lease | where-object {$_.Hostname -like "bos*"} | select -ExpandProperty hostname 

foreach($name in $pc)
{
    $name
    Add-ADGroupMember -Identity "DHCP Users" -Members "cn=$name,cn=computers,dc=test,dc=local"
}

    Ensure that your hostname is reside in Computers contained or related OU. if it resides in ou you need to change this cn=$name into ou=$name

    Best regards,

    Andy
