Create accounts in AD

J

What is the best way for me to take a list of users and
add them to AD. I have over a 100 users I exported to
a .csv. I want to use a script or tool in w2k to create
their accounts in AD and have the login names be
firstname.lastname. I would also like to make the password
the same for all?
Help Thanks

Hello, Have a look at Csvde. Imports and exports data from Active Directory
using files that store data in the comma-separated value (CSV) format. You
can also support batch operations based on the CSV file format standard.

Syntax
csvde [-i] [-f FileName] [-s ServerName] [-c String1 String2] [-v] [-j Path]
[-t PortNumber] [-d BaseDN] [-r LDAPFilter] [-p Scope] [-l
LDAPAttributeList] [-o LDAPAttributeList] [-g] [-m] [-n] [-k] [-a
UserDistinguishedName Password] [-b UserName Domain Password]
