   DirectoryEntry ent = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://RootDSE");
   String str = (String)ent.Properties["defaultNamingContext"][0];
   deAD = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://" + str);
   GrpType gt = GrpType.GlobalGrp | GrpType.SecurityGrp;
   int typeNum = (int)gt; 
   DirectoryEntry ou = deAD.Children.Find("OU=Users");
   DirectoryEntry group = ou.Children.Add("cn=myGroupName", ADGRPOUP );
   group.Properties["sAMAccountName"].Add("myGroupName");
