$MyComputer = Get-EmdbComputer "emdb:\rootDSE\Managed Users & Computers\solys.local\Chicago\ITService\Workstations\XP01"

Add-EmdbGroupMember -Group $MyGroup -Member $MyComputer

$MyGroup.AddMember($MyComputer)

$MyComputer = Get-EmdbComputer "emdb:\rootDSE\Managed Users & Computers\solys.local\Chicago\ITService\Workstations\XP01"

Add-EmdbGroupMember -Group $MyGroup -Member $MyComputer


Alternatively add the Computer "XP01" from the Organizational Unit "Chicago\ITService\Workstations" as a member to the Static Computer Group"Admin-Laptops". The group itself is an object in the context "Chicago\ITGlobal\Workstations", that is different from the context of the Computer "XP01" by invoking the method AddMember():


$MyGroup = Get-EmdbGroup "emdb:\rootDSE\Managed Users & Computers\solys.local\Chicago\ITGlobal\Workstations\Admin-Laptops"

$MyComputer = Get-EmdbComputer "emdb:\rootDSE\Managed Users & Computers\solys.local\Chicago\ITService\Workstations\XP01"
