Adding users to a domain group via a tool or scripting...

[Dan]

Other than Adduser.exe, is there other tools or ready made
script to bring AD domain users into a Domain group via a
txt file?

Thanks. Much appreciate your responses.

Take a look at the TechNet Script Center.

Specifically, the following look like they may be of use to you:

Once you have jumbled some of these scripts around, you should be able to
get a solution. Next, you just need a swanky front-end. I suggest you take
a look at what you can do with HTML Applications (HTA files).

Take a look at how ADSI Scriptomatic does it and you should be able to
easily write a nice-looking solution that is easy to modify.

Hope this helps

Dan,

You can also use ldifde or csvde which is included with 2000. Csvde may be
easlier if the user account does not exist. You ceate a csv file with Excel
and use it as you would any csv file, see the following article.
