Import Multiple Users (Active Directory)

[DMWCSD]

I have the wonderful job of creating several hundred new users on our domain. It will take forever to do this one at a time, and I am frantically searching for ways to import the data into Active Directory so that it can be done quickly. Does anyone know how I could do this?

I need to be able to enter the generic user information, along with a password, and a home folder for the users to save their documents.

I have begun to read a little bit about LDIFDE, but have not attempted anyting yet. Also, I have not yet seen anything that says that I can create a password for each user by using this method.

Have a look in the VBScript forum, there is a lot there.

LDIFDE or DSADD with the details being put in from a spreadsheet or CSV would probably work for you.

This link has an MS guys take on it.
