Help adding computers to an OU using ldifde or csvde.

[JM]

I have an Excel spreadsheet full of computer names which I
would like to add to an organizational unit.

Currently, I'm doing this one computer account at at a
time which is horribly inefficient.

Anyone with experience on how to use ldifde or csvde (or
which one works in this situation)? Thanks.

You would have to use csvde, as Excel can export to scv format. there is an
article on this subject located at
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/planning/activedirectory/bulksteps.asp
The procedure is the same as for users, except that you must use objectclass
computer instead of objectClass user.
