I would like to add the ff. questions:

1. Is there a way to change the user's group("OU") or assign to
another existing groups?
2. Is there a way to edit/delete existing groups using ruby-net-ldap?

Thanks,
rvd5star

Yes you can create groups in AD with ruby-net-ldap.

I'm not sure what you mean by group("OU") but you can add users to a group
by adding to the member property of the group.

Editing and deleting are also easy by setting attributes and using the
delete method.

I was able to create groups using ruby-net-ldap.
My only problem now is how to:
1. retrieve users from a group
2. assign users from one group to another

Any advice?

Thanks.

Hello. I was able to solve the latest two problems.

From my understanding there is no direct way to do that in the LDAP
protocol. You basically have to delete the object then re-create it in the
desired OU. You can change the left most part of the dn but not the rest.

That will only change the cn portion of the dn. You can't change ou's with
rename.
