The two best parts of this document are the links and extra
information that talk about looking to the help files, but.. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;326310

Registering the OID is a best practice and one that many
who didn't later wish they did.
Keep in mind that CSVDE is a utility that will help you
create or delete objects in the directory only. It is not intended to be
used for the modification of any items. As such, it's very
limited.
LDIFDE (LDIF) format it tougher to work with and can be
very unforgiving.
For those reasons, I prefer to use vbscript to do
this. Typically I prefer to use a csv format because that's what my admins
are used to manipulating and then just read that in and commit it as needed.
DSADD might be useful to you as well.
ajm From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stockbrugger, Brian L. Sent: Friday, October 01, 2004 3:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Extending schema and importing accounts with passwords I am looking to add an attribute to
my user object class that includes a studentID attribute. I am assuming
that simply using the AD Schema MMC is the best way to go – correct? Also,
as far as the X500 OID – how should/is this generated? Do you really have
to go to IANA and generate a number for your organization or what is the
process? I am yet to have to extend the schema in this manner so as you
can see this is kind of new to me. Also, on another note, when using
CSVDE or LDIFDE for importing user accounts in bulk, what is the best way to
import a password for a group of users. I would like to generate the
password using some password generator and then include that in the .csv file
and then import. Thank you for your
help. Brian |
