This works, and I don't need the DN, just the samaccoutname.
On the DC I used this incantation:
for /f "tokens=1 " %i in (users.txt) do net user %i
/homedir:\\fileserver\home1\%i
One caveat -there is no way to set or change the drive letter . It
only affects the current setting of the drive letter if one is
assigned, otherwise it sets the profile path without the drive letter.
And yes, we had a few folks who seem to have a drive letter missing
for their profile, so I had to go back and fix them.
Thanks for the reminder.
