We are in the process of setting up an educational network and want to create about 1000 generic user accounts(Student1, 2 ,3) for example with home drives. I have came accross the LDIFDE and CSVDE tools which would work for a small amount accounts to be created. Is there anyone who knows how I can automatically create 1000 user accounts and home drives?Thanks,Scott.

Hi Scott,You can also create large amount of accounts with LDIFDE & CSVDE.However this is Exchange Server - Admin forum, suggest you to post this query in Windows forum to get better & faster responses from the product experts.Windows Forum:http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windowsserver/Amit Tank | MVP - Exchange | MCITP:EMA MCSA:M | http://ExchangeShare.WordPress.com

Hi James, Thanks for that. Looks like just what I'm looking for. Is there any way to create home drives automatically at the same time of creating the accounts? Thanks again for your help. Scott.

Hi Scottgib, What exactly do you mean about home drive for the user account? I suggest you ask the question in the windows server forum since this forum is for exchange product related issues, and attached with more detailed description about home drive

Here's some sample scriptshttp://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/scripts/ad/users/default.mspx?mfr=true Andrew Sword, MVP
