add 400 active directory users using autoit

[goodbyeplanet]

OK i have a task to insert 400 users on active directory. I have been looking at the help file for some suggestions but it seems there isnt much on networking. May somebody help me or even give me some clues how i can use autoit to automate the process. my server is windows 2003.

There is an active directory UDF that should do the trick.

Use the search function in the forum to find it.

Hello goodbyeplanet,

even if you don't want to use the ActiveDirectory UDF you could still use "dsadd.exe" to automate the setup of the 400 users.

Regards,

Please see my signature for the link to download the Active Directory UDF.

Inserting 400 users is quite easy (pseudo code)

#include <ad.au3>
$iResult = _AD_Open()
Loop
  $iResult = _AD_CreateUser(<OU where to create the user>, <Username = samaccountname>, <Common Name>)
  if @error <> 0 Then <Error handling>
LoopEnd
$iResult = _AD_Close()
