Active Directory country code list

We like to create Active Directory users with PowerShell. This time, we need to add country code to the users. Having a list with all the countries and the specific country codes is excellent, as we can search which country we want to add and use the code.

Where to find the country/region in Active Directory?

Start Active Directory Users and Computers on the domain controller or management server.

Find the country information by going to the Address tab of a user. Select the Country/region from the dropdown.

Create AD users in bulk with the Add-Newusers.ps1 PowerShell script and save yourself time. Learn more in the article Create Active Directory Users from CSV with PowerShell.

ISO 3166 country codes

The purpose of ISO 3166 is to define internationally recognized codes of letters and/or numbers that we can use when we refer to countries and their subdivisions. However, it does not define the names of countries – this information comes from United Nations sources (Terminology Bulletin Country Names and the Country and Region Codes for Statistical Use maintained by the United Nations Statistics Divisions).

Access country codes on ISO Online Browsing Platform (OBP). Search for the country and use the Alpha-2 code.
