Creating a Large Quantity of Users

Applies To: Windows Server 2008 R2

This topic explains how to use the Active Directory module for Windows PowerShell to create a large number of users in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS).

Example

The following example demonstrates how to create a large number of users in AD DS by importing the contents of a comma-separated value (CSV) file:

Import-CSV usersFinance.csv | foreach {New-ADUser -SamAccountName $_.SamAccountName -Name $_.Name -Surname $_.Surname -GivenName $_.GivenName -Path "OU=Finance,OU=UserAccounts,DC=FABRIKAM,DC=COM" -AccountPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText $_.SamAccountName -Force) -Enabled $true}
