Question : Create a distribution group in the root Domain and add users. I have the group names and user names in 2 diffetent txt files. Any way of doing this.

Hi,

Create a distribution group in the root Domain and add users. I have the group names and user names in 2 diffetent txt files. Any way of doing this.

A script that checkes the "Group.txt" and creates the group and add's the user names that are in the "Users.txt" file

I need to create 40 groups with the similar 100+ users.

Any help....
