How do I add a user to multiple groups - active-directory

Question

I want to specify a source user and capture the list of the groups that user belongs to. I want to then specify a second user and have the original captured groups added to the new users account.
If user1 is a member of GroupA, GroupB, GroupC I want the script to capture that and add it to user3 when I type his name.
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
$SourceUser = Read-Host -Prompt 'Enter the username of the user whos groups you would like to copy'
$DestUser = Read-Host -Prompt "Enter the username of the user who will get: $SourceUser groups"
$SourceGroups = Get-ADUser $SourceUser -Property MemberOf | % {
$_.MemberOf | Get-ADGroup | select Name | sort name
}
"List of groups for user $DestUser BEFORE script: "
Get-ADUser $DestUser -Property MemberOf | % {
$_.MemberOf | Get-ADGroup | select Name | sort name
}
# ***Where my problem is***
#Add-ADGroupMember $SourceGroups –Member $DestUser
"List of groups for user $DestUser AFTER script: "
Get-ADUser -Identity $DestUser -Property MemberOf | % {
$_.MemberOf | Get-ADGroup | select Name | sort name
}

Answer 1

When in doubt, read the documentation.
Syntax
Add-ADGroupMember [-Identity] <ADGroup> [-Members] <ADPrincipal[]> ...
The -Identity parameter (the first argument) takes a single group identity, not a list of identities. To add a user to a list of groups you need a loop:
$SourceGroups | ForEach-Object { Add-ADGroupMember $_ –Member $DestUser }

Here is the corrected code that now works.
$T2FolderExists = Test-Path "C:\T2\"
$LogsFolderExists = Test-Path "C:\T2\Logs\"
IF ($T2FolderExists -eq $False)
{
New-Item C:\T2\ -type directory
IF ($LogsFolderExists -eq $False)
{
New-Item C:\T2\Logs\ -type directory
}
ELSE
{
}
"`n"
Start-Transcript -Path C:\T2\Logs\CopyMembershipFromADAccount.txt -Append
"`n"
}
ELSE
{
"`n"
Start-Transcript -Path C:\T2\Logs\CopyMembershipFromADAccount.txt -Append
"`n"
}

This is what I did:
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
Import-CSV "data.csv" -Delimiter ";" |
ForEach {`
$_.Group1,$_.Group2,$_.Group3,$_.Group4,$_.Group5,$_.Group6 |
Add-ADGroupMember `
-Members $_.Alias`
}
You can have more groups in the script without using them.
And in the "data.csv", you put this (for example):
Alias;Group1;Group2;Group3;Group4
l.salvador;Spanish;Republic;Central;WWW
Although I had an error with "Identity" could not be checked, it worked.
