Add thousands of users at once

[iolair]

Is there a way to add thousands of users at once to a server? I am about to have to add a large group of student users to a dorm network, and wonder if there was a way to take them out of a FoxPro database and enter them into the security database of a Windows server. Thanks.

You can probably write a script to add each user with dsadd. That's all I can think of.

If you export to a CSV file (depending on the fields exported) you should be able to use CSVDE or LDIFDE in order to import the users in AD

I like to use VBScript with an Excel file.
