It looks like they've changed things since I used it
last, but there was a tool from ADMWin (http://www.admwin.com/default.htm)
that would do exactly what you're looking for. I believe the one that will
do what you want is now called SetupBatcher. It's pretty straight
forward, you enter the list of users (it can be imported from file), enter user
info (name, location, username, passwords, descriptions, etc.), enter groups,
mailbox info, etc, and specify home directories, including the server to create
the directories, shares, and set permissions on.
It's definitely changed since I used it last (over
three years ago), but it looks like everything is still there. The place I
used it at last was a school board, with over 200 schools. We used to
build the scripts and send them out to the schools. They just had to
supply the student info and a server name. We had scripts to create
everything for September, and remove everything in June, and they worked
very well.

On Behalf Of Dan
Stanford Hi to all on the
list. Forgive me if this subject has been
covered, as I am new to the list. I manage a school network, and one of
the issues I face is that an AD user account, the user profile and the user's
home directory share are inextricably linked. I need to be able to create users
and shares in on go, so that the account is set up, the share and
profile created, and permissions set, and the details entered into the AD
object. Does anyone know of any software or scripts that would accomplish
this? I would ideally like to be able to do it for individual users or in
bulk. Thanks in
advance, Dan
Stanford.
