You can use the activity "Update AD Object" available under the tab Packs --> Active Directory.

Steps to update anything related to group or user.

1. Name:- Any name for your identification of the activity instance

2. Stage:- Select anything which suits for this activity.

Now come the real fact of updating the AD

3. Domain Controller:- ${workflow.scratchpad.domain_controller} and this work flow scratchpad variable you can set using Run script activity before this activity actually runs, it is your organizations domain controller and you need to talk to windows team to get the domain name and should be some thing like this "workflow.scratchpad.domain_controller = 'DEVXXX05XW.abccompany.com';"

4. Type:- You need to select the object type, if you are updating group object type group or if you are updating user object type user 

5. Object name:-  ${workflow.scratchpad.group_name} and this also again you can set in the scratchpad or you can directly type in the name that reflects in AD, ex:- if you are doing via run script workflow.scratchpad.group_name = "XYZ_Group"; and if you want to type directly in the field just type XYZ_Group.

6. Object Data:- ${workflow.scratchpad.object_data} and this again you can set in a run script because it varies according to your need, here you can set or update the AD attributes as your wish in a comma separated JSON data for example i'm giving the option of updating the short description and owner (here we set owners in description).. please talk to windows team what else you need to do.

ex:- workflow.scratchpad.object_data = '{"info":"Blah Blah Blah", "Description":"(interpret Owners)"}';

At last you also need to check that a MID server is available to perform your action, ie; one MID server should have the capability of all actions. I assume that your organization will have a default mid server set for Orchestration activities.

I hope this helps you, and you can explore from here.

Hi,

We have a similar requirement and looking for help on how to achieve it using IntegrationHub instead of Orchestration.

Any pointers would be helpful.

Same here.  Is there a way to update the 'managed by' for an AD group using IntegrationHub?

Thanks
