Hi all,

Anyone have or can point me to a utility that allows me to add users via a
text file like the NT/200* resource kit utility, ADDUSERS?

I've over 100 users to add to an XP pro machine and really don't want to do
it manually.

Cheers

First - have to ask - why do you need 100 users on an XP box? Seems
overkill - and if in a shared computer environment you might want to
investigate the newly BETA "Shared Use Computer Toolkit"

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sharedaccess/default.mspx

But... the NET command may be your friend here. Using the "Net user"
command as mentioned here:

you could automate the creation using a batch file or script.

Hope this helps!

You can also use ADSI - will do the same in a matter of seconds, source code
for scripts to add users via ADSI are all over the net.
