Hi Monika,
When you import users with a CSV file, using CSVDE, the user object are
by default set to a blank password, but the users are forced to change
password before they can actually complete the first logon procedure.
Hence, the user gets to set their password before the first login. But
the catch here is, any one can use any user ID to do a first login and
set the password for that account. This should be OK in a low security
environment. If you need to set individual password for each account
before the first logon, then you need to do it with a VBScript.

Regards,

Raj
