Here's a version of how I have successfully added a member to a group.  I just installed the Quest AD cmdlets yesterday
and am looking at how we might use those to accomplish the task.....

$ADS_PROPERTY_APPEND = 3

$user =   [ADSI]"LDAP://<PATH_TO_USER>"
$group = [ADSI]"LDAP://<PATH_TO_GROUP>"
$group.putEx($ADS_PROPERTY_APPEND,"member",@($user.distinguishedname))
$group.setInfo()

Thanks Chris,

As you used the SetInfo() method I thought I would try it even though it
is not listed in the member properties of the object??

Anyway - my method now works a treat.

Cheers,
Neil

If at all possible use the cmdlets - they make life so much easier
