Yeah, I'd ask Deji to search the couches. You may want to figure out what you're going to do with the password - autogen and log it, set it based on the spreadsheet, etc.

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 :)

I was going to user csvde, but read that it did not support password
creation. Is this supported under ADMod?

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.

Ok, I skipped a step, sounds like you need these 200 to go to separate OU's.
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.

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.

What's the fast way for me to create 200 user accounts in specific
OU's and create Exchange mailboxes?
