How to create multiple users and mailboxes all at once with Win Server/Exchange 2003?

[steinooo]

Hi all,

I'm after a tool/script I can use to create lots of new AD users including mailboxes for each of them, does anyone know a way to do this please?

I require the accounts to be set up with

First Name
Last Name
Logon Name
Password set to "password"
users to be created as standard users in a particular OU
account enabled


thanks.

Have a look at the DSAdd command - the problem you going to have is giving it a unique username / first name and second name. You could write something in where you ask for a username first and second name and have the script replace them but it's probably making it more complext than it should be.

Microsoft have a tool to do this called CSVDE, you need the list of usernames etc.. in a spreadsheet, see below for a tutorial:

Alternative to using CSVDE as there are some limitations to it -

Make sure you fully test scripts your using in a test environment first if you can.
