We have tested the below script in Windows Server 2008 R2 AD infrastructure.
We have created a test OU as Sales in our testlab.com with no users.
Import-Csv .\Original.csv | foreach-object {
$UserPrincipalName = $_.SamAccountName + “@TESTLAB.COM”
New-ADUser -SamAccountName $_.SamAccountName -UserPrincipalName $UserPrincipalName -Givenname $_.FirstName -Name $_.FirstName -DisplayName $_.DisplayName -SurName $_.LastName -Department $_.Department -EmailAddress $_.EmailAddress -EmployeeID $_.EmployeeID -Path $_.Path -AccountPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString “pass@123” -AsPlainText -force) -Enabled $True -ChangePasswordAtLogon $True -PassThru }
Note: – Give the csv file name same as 1st line in the script.
Copy both files at same location on AD.
- Run Active Directory Module for PowerShell as Administrator
- Change to the location where you have placed the Script and the CSV file.
- Now run the script. Type “.\CreateAccount.ps1”
AD Users will be created as below.
I attempted to use this code to create 100 users, but I received the following error. Have you run into it and do you know a solution?ThanksThe term 'New-ADUser' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check thespelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.At C:\\Users\\dbcot\\users.ps1:4 char:11+ New-ADUser <<<< -SamAccountName $_.SamAccountName -UserPrincipalName $UserPrincipalName -Givenname $_.FirstName -Name $_.FirstName -SurName $_.LastName -Path $_.Path -AccountPassword $_.AccountPassword -Enabled $True -ChangePasswordAtLogon $True -PassThru } + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (New-ADUser:String) [], CommandNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

David, if you are using Windows Server 2008 DC, you may need to import cmdlets for Active Directory, before using any AD Powershell cmdlets.
