Script to powershell for create bulk users AD2008 R2

Question

hi
I need your help.
I need to create 500 users in AD windows server 2008 R2.
Required fields are:
Name (First only), Password (never expires), Group it belongs to, and path profile (access to documents that desktop on any pc in AD)

Can anyone provide script and csv template?

Answer 1

Hello there,

To create users in bulk with PowerShell, you’ll need the following:

PowerShell module already loaded
CSV file with information from new users
PowerShell script to import data and create new accounts

Below is the script to bulk import new users.

Import active directory module for running AD cmdlets

Import-Module activedirectory

Store the data from ADUsers.csv in the $ADUsers variable

$Users = Import-csv c:\it\bulk_import.csv

Loop through each row containing user details in the CSV file

foreach ($User in $Users) {
# Read user data from each field in each row
# the username is used more often, so to prevent typing, save that in a variable
$Username = $User.SamAccountName

\# Check to see if the user already exists in AD  
if (Get-ADUser -F {SamAccountName -eq $Username}) {  
     #If user does exist, give a warning  
     Write-Warning "A user account with username $Username already exist in Active Directory."  
}  
else {  
    \# User does not exist then proceed to create the new user account  

    \# create a hashtable for splatting the parameters  
    $userProps = @{  
        SamAccountName             = $User.SamAccountName                     
        Path                       = $User.path        
        GivenName                  = $User.GivenName   
        Surname                    = $User.Surname  
        Initials                   = $User.Initials  
        Name                       = $User.Name  
        DisplayName                = $User.DisplayName  
        UserPrincipalName          = $user.UserPrincipalName   
        Department                 = $User.Department  
        Description                = $User.Description  
        Office                     = $User.Office  
        OfficePhone                = $User.OfficePhone  
        EmailAddress               = $User.EmailAddress  
        StreetAddress              = $User.StreetAddress  
        POBox                      = $User.POBox  
        City                       = $User.City  
        State                      = $User.State  
        PostalCode                 = $User.PostalCode  
        Title                      = $User.Title  
        Company                    = $User.Company  
        AccountPassword            = (ConvertTo-SecureString $User.password -AsPlainText -Force)   
        Enabled                    = $true  
        ChangePasswordAtLogon      = $true  
    }   #end userprops     

     New-ADUser @userProps  
   \#  Write-Host "The user account $User is created." -ForegroundColor Cyan

Answer 2

Hi，

You can give a try to the script below

$file = "C:\temp\users.csv"  
Import-Csv -Path $file | ForEach-Object {  
    New-ADUser -Name $_.name -GivenName $_.name -AccountPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString -String $_.password -AsPlainText -Force) -PasswordNeverExpires $true -ProfilePath $_.profile -Enabled $true  
    Add-ADGroupMember -identity $_.group -Members $_.name  
}  

The fileds in the csv file are name, password, group and profile.
