VBS script? --------Start Example------------- Set objOU = GetObject("LDAP://cn=users,dc=DavidClark,dc=com";) for intLoop = 40100 to 40126 Set objUser = objOU.Create("User", "cn=" & cstr(intLoop)) objUser.Put "sAMAccountName", cstr(intLoop) objUser.Put "homeDirectory", "\\sea-dc-01\HomeFolders\" & cstr(intLoop) objUser.Put "homeDrive", "H:" objUser.AccountDisabled = FALSE objUser.SetPassword cstr(intLoop) objUser.SetInfo Next --------End Example------------- This example creates 147 accounts in the user container of the DavidClark.com domain, numbered 40100 to 40126, and sets their user name to the number, sets the password to the number, sets the home directory to be connected to H: and point to \\sea-dc-01\HomeFolders\%UserName%, and then enables the account.

The username will be numbers running consecutively (say 40100- 40246). Each user must have his/her own home directory. Other than that all the configuration is the same. Is there any way of setting this up "automatically". From what I've read each user can be individually copied from another user. Is there any way of not having to do this one by one, manually?
