How to add multiple members to group at once ? (4291190)

You could use the /opt/quest/bin/vastool load command to supply a list of users to a group. vastool load will read from a file if the -f option is specified, otherwise it will read from stdin.

Usage: vastool load [-lxre] [-f file] [-c container] [-p password]
   [-t grouptype] [-s samaccpre] {command}

Commands:
   users
   groups

-f file      Path to the import file in /etc/passwd or /etc/group format
-c container DN of the container to create the principals in
-l           Log user and group errors to a file
-p password  Default new password for imported users
-x           Don't make users change password during initial login
-r           Don't update vasd caches after load is finished
-e           Unix enable existing users and groups -- don't create them
-t grouptype Created group type: "universal","domain_local","global"(Default)
-s samaccpre prefix sAMAccountName of new group with samaccpre

Here is an example from our lab:

# vastool list group load-group

load-group:VAS:4111:

# more load.txt

load-group:VAS:4111:ej@cs-gloria.com,jandrews@cs-gloria.com

# vastool -u Administrator load-group -f load.txt groups

Password for Administrator@cs-gloria.com:

Group: load already exists, only adding new users.
