Add Users Through Command Line

[khokhart]

Hello,

 

I am very new to windows server 2008 as well as writing anything to command line.

 

I need to be able to add 45 users in my company domain and could not find any other way to add it other then command line. If I am wrong please let me know..

 

I have a 2003 server and I tried to use active directory migration but its not seeing the new server and I am not able to figure out how to transfer users.

 

It looks like if I can user dsadd user to add user then I would be able to speed up the process of adding all of them..

 

I tried alot using google as well as help from dsadd user /? but did not really help and always gave me errors...

 

it would be great if anyone from the group can help me with this...

 

I am very panic right now and any help will be huge..

 

Thank you

 

Khokhar

You should have an Active Directory Users and Computers MMC under administrative tools on your 2008 server, just like you had in 2003 for adding users. If you cannot find it in your start menu, try typing dsa.msc from the Run line.

 

You may also be able to use LDIFDE or CSVDE to export users from your 2003 domain and into your 2008 domain. Here is some information to get your started there.

 

If you want to continue with dsadd, here is some more information which might help you.
