In our AD we have many users, all of them are unified in one general mailgroup “visi”. One day I was tasked to split users into english and lithuanian groups, so that emails in my language wouldn’t bother those who can’t read them :P
\nIt was easy with my newly acquired Powershell skill, and we were dividing people into groups by their departments, so I knew the english speaking departments, all I had to do was list out all the people and add them to “visilt” and “visien” groups according by their departments.
