how can i automate the creation of 120 user accounts in Active Directory?

Question

I'm administering a windows server 2003 domain and I need to create 120 user accounts. Is there any way I can create the accounts as some kind of a batch job without individually creating the accounts? Are there any tools available that can do this. By the way, I need to add the users to the following OU structure:
ICIT-MKG
|--Students
|--Vocational
| |-- Office Automation
| |-- Level-I {Add Users Here}
| |-- Level-II {Add Users Here}
|-- Diploma
| |-- CE
| |---- 2nd Year {Add Users Here}
| |---- 4th Year {Add Users Here}
| |-- ECE
| |-- 2nd Year {Add Users Here}
| |-- 4th Year {Add Users Here}
| |-- IT
| |-- 2nd Year {Add Users Here}
| |-- 4th Year {Add Users Here}

I'll be very glad if someone could help me do this. I'm new at his so, etc etc etc. Lastly, HELPPPPPPPPP!!!

Answer 1

You can create the basic accounts in a script file but they will not have any permissions or be in any OU's.



Just create a batch file with this command...



net user username password / add / DOMAIN



You'll still have to set permissions, groups, and move them into the OU's.

Answer 2

Account Lockout coverage. those coverage settings are used for area or close by consumer debts. They ensure the situations and length of time that an account would be locked out of the equipment.
