Creating multiple user domain accounts simultaneously 1

[markettm]

Hi, I hope someone has run across a solution for this one before.<br><br>I need to create ~450 user accounts and would like to streamline the process as much as possible.&nbsp;&nbsp;These will only be generic accounts in that they won't run a login script or have a home directory.<br><br>Is there a way to use a user template (or any other way) and create multiple users at once without having to manually type each one?<br><br>Thanks in advance for any help!<br><br><br>Mike Markett<br><A HREF="mailto:markettm@nasd.com">markettm@nasd.com</A>

&quot;Net User&quot; will create&nbsp;&nbsp;the accounts.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you can generate the list of IDs, you should be able to play some games to add &quot;net user&quot; commands and options in front ant behind to make&nbsp;&nbsp;a batch file.<br><br>My first stab would be to get the ID's into a column in a spreadsheet.&nbsp;&nbsp;Create a column in front of that that is filled with &quot;Net User&quot; and a column after that is filled with &quot;/ADD&quot; and the other options you want.&nbsp;&nbsp;(Do a &quot;net user /?&quot; to see the syntax and poke around in the help system to see how to use it.)<br><br>Once you get the spreadsheet the way you wan, export it as a space delimited file with a .bat extension and yuou should be ready to go. <p> Jeff<br><a href=mailto: masterracker@hotmail.com> masterracker@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>If everything seems to be going well: you don't have enough information.......
