move AD group by file - powershell

Question

I'm new with PS and doing my first steps..
I have a file named "C:\temp\used_groups.csv".
The file has email address of AD Groups populated by Powershell script to check which distributions group are being used in 365.
Now I want to be able to move them to different OU.
the file has some AD group's email address as follow:
"RecipientAddress"
"test#test.com"
"test1#test.com"
"test2#test.com"
is it possible to move the AD group only by their email address attribute?
how can I resolve the group's sAMAccountName attribute by their email address attribute?
this is what I tried with no success:
$Groups=import-csv "C:\temp\used_groups.csv"
ForEach ($Group in $Groups){
Get-ADGroup -Filter "mail -like $Group "
# rest of script.. not done yet.
}

Answer 1

I would do something like this:
# put the DistinghuishedName of the destination OU here
$destinationOU = "OU=Test,DC=Fabrikam,DC=COM"
# read the CSV and grab the 'RecipientAddress' fields in an array
$emailAddresses = (Import-Csv "C:\temp\used_groups.csv").RecipientAddress
foreach ($email in $emailAddresses){
$GroupToMove = Get-ADGroup -Filter "mail -like '$email'"
if ($GroupToMove) {
# Move-ADObject takes the 'DistinghuishedName' or the 'objectGUID' as Identity parameter
# but it also works when piping the group object itself to it.
$GroupToMove | Move-ADObject -TargetPath $destinationOU
Write-Host "Moved group '$($GroupToMove.Name)'."
}
else {
Write-Warning "Could not find group with email address '$email'"
}
}

When using a CSV you have to specify the fieldname. Another problem in your script is the absence of quotes in the AD filter.
Try this:
$Groups=import-csv "C:\temp\used_groups.csv"
ForEach ($Group in $Groups){
(Get-ADGroup -Filter "mail -like '$($Group.RecipientAddress)'").samaccountname
# rest of script.. not done yet.
}
