Can you create AD Computer account and add them to security groups using Nintex Workflow?

Hm, I've never had to do this before - it's a good question! 

It looks like it was asked a while back and there was no answer then... maybe there'll be better luck this time?

does this help?

Also what about the provisioning actions "Create AD user" and "Create AD Group" and "Add user to AD group"?

Ok, so i got response from Nintex Technical Evangelist and it is not something you can do OOTB. At the moment, you can use powershell as a workaround. Another option is to create a custom web service that manipulates AD Computer objects and you call them from Nintex Web Service action.

There is a custom PowerShell action developed by community   https://community.nintex.com/community/build-your-own/blog/2015/10/06/ntx-powershell-action-stable-release  which allows you to execute powershell script that has been verified as stable by Nintex and they often use it when required. However, this custom action needs to be treated as open source and not covered under support contracts.

As much as I would like to accomplish this from Nintex using above custom action, I am however considering using PowerShell script outside of Nintex to do the same, purely from support and maintenance perspective

apologies ‌ I completely misread your question!

Hi Cassy,

Those actions that you mentioned are for manipulating user objects which I have used successfully. I am now looking at interacting with AD Computer objects which is not yet available OOTB at the moment. More details in my comment to Rhia.
