Active Directory country code list
We like to create Active Directory users with PowerShell. This time, we need to add a country code to the users. Having a list with all the countries and the specific country codes is excellent, as we can search for which country we want to add and use the code. In this article, you will learn how to get the Active Directory country code list.
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).
Note: There are 249 country codes at the moment of writing.
ISO 3166 alpha-2 country code list
To get the alpha-2 country code, follow the below steps:
1. Go to ISO Online Browsing Platform (OBP).
2. Select Country codes and click on Search
3. The alpha-2 code is the country code you need to set the Active Directory country/region setting for the user.
4. Search for a country and click on the search icon.
In our example, the United Kingdom.
