RE: [ActiveDir] Stuffing the AD

[Rich Milburn]

I had to do this once, the problem was getting the names to use.  You could export live names for your list, or… make them up – but for thousands of users that’s tough.  I went to some genealogy lists online (there are loads of these), grabbed long lists of first and last names, put them in Excel, staggered the first and last names so one had more (like 100 first names and 107 last names) and then did drag and fill down the sheet.  I think I ended up making about 10,000 unique users in a couple of minutes, and I used a batch file with FOR /F against the resulting text file, calling NET USER /ADD.  Not as elegant as using a script, but I didn’t know about scripting back then.  Still it served my purposes well.

I need to create a massive AD database so that I can do a few tests, but to add them by hand will take ages.   Olly -------APPLEBEE'S INTERNATIONAL, INC.
