Convert-Group

Directory Manager Management Shell prompts for the identity of the unmanaged group you want to convert into a Smart Group. After executing, the commandlet displays the status that update is successful as shown in the following snapshot:

The converted Smart Group will not have an LDAP query attached to it. You have to define it manually.
