Add a user to a given active directory group

Note: To add or read properties from an Active Directory group you need to have special username and password like an Active Directory admin.

DirectoryEntry addGroup;

string folderPath = "LDAP://CN="+grpName+"OU=”+FolderName+”,OU=Groups,DC=aaaaa,DC=com";

addGroup = new DirectoryEntry(folderPath, "Spluser", "password");

string usrId = “myUserID”;

string usrPath = "LDAP://CN="+usrId+”,OU=UserAccounts,DC=aaaaa,DC=com";

DirectoryEntry addUser;

addUser = new DirectoryEntry(usrPath);

if((chkGroupExistence(addGroup) == true)&&(chkUserExistence(addGroup, usrId) == false))      

{

  try

    {

      addGroup.Invoke("Add", new object[] { addUser.Path.ToString() });

    }

  catch (Exception)

    {

        LblSuccessMsg.Text = "User could not be added to the Group. ";

    }

 }
