'Hi,

at first I would request you to  change this thread  Type from "Discussion"  to   "Question" so that you can mark as answer once you get the solution.

Now ,  here is your solution ...........

New-ADGroup -name MasterGroup -Description "This is master Group" -GroupScope Global -GroupCategory Security
$masterG=Get-ADGroup "masterGroup"

$gName="Group" # if you want other naming convention , change here 

$num=Read-Host "Number of Groups you want to create "

for($i=1;$i -le $num; $i++)
{

new-adgroup -Name "$gname $i" -Description " This group is member of Master Group"  -GroupCategory Security -GroupScope Global

Add-ADGroupMember -Identity $masterG -Members "$gname $i"

}

This will create a Master group named 'MasterGroup' and then will create  the group in the naming conventions like 'Group 1' , "Group 2 " ........ and so on based on the number of your input you want to create group  and then finally add these group to MasterGroup.

Hope , it helps you.

HI tarique

thanks for your solution ,i will try this and let you know,

i have a doubt, if we have to fill same discribtion on all security groups then what modification require in the script.

Hi ,

 we have included the description as well , in the -Descripton parameter => replace your own descripton here

One more thing :

Don't forget to  import ActiveDirectory module while you run this script in PowerShell.

Import-Module ActiveDirectory

new-adgroup -Name "$gname $i" -Description " This group is member of Master Group"  -GroupCategory Security -GroupScope Global
