VBScript ; Create Active Directory Organisational Unit (OU)

VB Script Create Active Directory Organisational Unit (OU) – ADSI

Another useful time-saving tip when deploying a new Active Directory Tree.It is possible to script the creation of all Organisational Units in the Active Directory Tree using vbscript. This can save a great deal of time when it comes to the deployment of a new domain.

The following script will create a tree as follows: yourdomain.com > Sites – {new Top Level OU} > UK – {new sub-OU}

It will then create sub-OUs for each site listed in the object arrOus.

Site names must be seperated by a semi-colon (;)

For each Site sub-OU created a Users container and Computers container will be created.Again, the script is simple to modify for your environment.

For Each ou in arrOUs
        strOUContainer =”OU=” & ou & “,OU=UK,OU=Sites”
        Set objOU = oDomain.Create(“organizationalUnit”, strOUContainer) objOU.SetInfo strOUContainer =”OU=Users,OU=” & ou & “,OU=UK,OU=Sites” ‘
 
        ‘On Error Resume next
        Set objOU = oDomain.Create(“organizationalUnit”, strOUContainer)
        objOU.Put “Description”, “User Object Organisational Unit”
        objOU.SetInfo
        WScript.Echo “New OU created = ” & strOUContainer strOUContainer =”OU=Computers,OU=” & ou & “,OU=UK,OU=Sites” ‘
 
        Set objOU = oDomain.Create(“organizationalUnit”, strOUContainer)
        objOU.Put “Description”, “Computer Object Organisational Unit”
        objOU.SetInfo
        WScript.Echo “New OU created = ” & strOUContainer
Next’

 The script has been tested on Windows Server 2000 and 2003 Domains.
