You have to follow the process below I given. It’s a easy process if everything goes well with your activities to do it.

 

At first you have to add user into other OU by following this and done-

 

PublicSubAddToGroup(ByValuserDn AsString,ByValgroupDn AsString)

 

Try

 

DimdirEntry AsDirectoryEntry=NewDirectoryEntry(("LDAP://"+groupDn))

 

dirEntry.Properties("member").Add(userDn)

 

dirEntry.CommitChanges

 

dirEntry.Close

 

CatchE AsSystem.DirectoryServices.DirectoryServicesCOMException

 

doSomething with E.Message.ToString();

 

End Try

 

End Sub

 

 

Now you must have to remove from previous OU by doing this-

 

PublicSubRemoveUserFromGroup(ByValuserDn AsString,ByValgroupDn AsString)

 

Try

 

DimdirEntry AsDirectoryEntry=NewDirectoryEntry(("LDAP://"+groupDn))

 

dirEntry.Properties("member").Remove(userDn)

 

dirEntry.CommitChanges

 

dirEntry.Close

 

CatchE AsSystem.DirectoryServices.DirectoryServicesCOMException

 

doSomething with E.Message.ToString();

 

End Try

 

End Sub

 

Also you can use code translator for fill up your purposes. This may be work more efficiently for you

Hello Ava,

 

Use the code given below to move a user in the active directory console from one OU to a separate OU.
 

1) You have to add the user to the other OU first. Follow this code section

Public Sub AddToGroup(ByVal userDn As String, ByVal groupDn As String)

        Try

            Dim dirEntry As DirectoryEntry = New DirectoryEntry(("LDAP://" + groupDn))

            dirEntry.Properties("member").Add(userDn)

            dirEntry.CommitChanges

            dirEntry.Close

        Catch E As System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryServicesCOMException

            'doSomething with E.Message.ToString();

        End Try

    End Sub

2) Then you have to remove the user from previous OU.
 

 

Public Sub RemoveUserFromGroup(ByVal userDn As String, ByVal groupDn As String)

        Try 

            Dim dirEntry As DirectoryEntry = New DirectoryEntry(("LDAP://" + groupDn))

            dirEntry.Properties("member").Remove(userDn)

            dirEntry.CommitChanges

            dirEntry.Close

        Catch E As System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryServicesCOMException

            'doSomething with E.Message.ToString();

        End Try

    End Sub
