Hmmmm. I get just under a second. How does your loop differ?
function newSecurePassword( [string]$password )
{
$secure = new-object System.Security.SecureString
$password.ToCharArray() |% { $secure.AppendChar($_) }
return $secure
}
for( $count = 1; $count -le 10; $count++ )
{
Measure-Command {
New-AdUser `
-Name $('User' + $count.ToString()) `
-DisplayName $('User' + $count.ToString()) `
-GivenName $('User' + $count.ToString()) `
-Surname Smith `
-AccountPassword $( newSecurePassword P@`$`$w0rd1 ) `
-Department IT `
-EmailAddress $('User' + $count.ToString() + '@example.com') `
-UserPrincipalName $('User' + $count.ToString() +
'@example.com') `
-Path 'ou=testou,dc=example,dc=com' `
-Enabled $true
}
}

Added a -server and here is the measure output:
Creating User: <...>
Days : 0
Hours : 0
Minutes : 0
Seconds : 10
Milliseconds : 205
Ticks : 102059847

Add -Server to specify a local domain controller, and then actually check it
out with Measure-Command. Let us know what the real speed is.

I'm using New-ADUser with:
-Name
-DisplayName
-GivenName
-Surname
-AccountPassword
-Department
-EmailAddress
-UserPrincipalName
-Path
-Enabled
the user creation is to slow. I presume it has something to do with the wack of
additional attr's it must process and check.
Any way around this? Better method to use?
Thanks guys,
