What is your input? Where are you getting the input from, and what format is it in? Al mentioned some script laying around. I may have one stuck in one of my couches here :) Sincerely, Dèjì Akómöláfé, MCSE+M MCSA+M MCT Microsoft MVP - Directory Services www.readymaids.com - we know IT www.akomolafe.com Do you now realize that Today is the Tomorrow you were worried about Yesterday? -anon ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Harding, Devon Sent: Wed 3/8/2006 1:37 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Bulk Import I was going to user csvde, but read that it did not support password creation. Is this supported under ADMod? ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Al Mulnick Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2006 4:22 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] Bulk Import I suppose it really depends on your input data. What have you got to work with and what is the decision criteria for the OU differences? Creating the objects in a particular OU and mailbox enabling them would not be terribly difficult depending on the information you have and want to put in there. Jim's way would work, but I think I prefer to put them where they belong at creation vs. later. For that reason either one of Joe's tools (admod for example) or script would be my preference. Script would be mine but that's just because I'm funny like that. Joe's tools are faster though both at runtime and to get working if you don't have scripts laying around.

Mass create them in one OU, mass right click them and create the mailbox then mass send them an email. The script the move if that is faster/easier than a manual drag and drop. So your spreadsheet of users is: firstname lastname password targetOU convert that to comma text for your script and use the first three for the creation and then the first two and last for the move. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ] On Behalf Of Kennedy, Jim Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2006 2:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Bulk Import Delegate it to HR. Short of that get HR or someone to give you a list of the names and script it, provide a default password of their SS number perhaps...must be changed on first log on. After they are created, in the same OU...mass select them in ADUC and right click them and send them a test email to create the mailbox. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ] On Behalf Of Harding, Devon Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2006 2:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] Bulk Import What's the fast way for me to create 200 user accounts in specific OU's and create Exchange mailboxes?
