Populating Sites & Services

[Robn Briggs]

Does anyone know of a way to populate multiple subnets
into AD using a text file as input? We need to populate
about 1,000 subnets and would like to avoid typing each
one into the MMC.

Thanks!

Hi Rob-

You would need to do this via vbscripting perhaps using an Array or some
const variables calling to an external file (be it notepad file or excel
spreadsheet). Perhaps it may be something to get better info at one of the
scripting newsgroups on the MS public news server.

Check out the Windows 2000 Branch Office Deployment Guide scripts.
AutoMkSites (I forget the extension) should be able to help. You may need
to modify the script to your purpose.
