Batch Adding Users to a Windows 2003 Domain

[WobbleWobble]

I have a list of about 30 users that I need added to the Active Directory. Are there any good automated tools that I can feed a CSV file into or whatever to add these users? I noticed there was the "addusers" command that was part of the NT Resource Kit, but I couldn't find it in my Windows 2003 Resource Kit installation. I'm guessing it's not safe to use the NT4 kit because NT4 didn't have AD back then?

There are a couple of apps that you could use to do this such as CSVDE and LDIFDE

I'm not sure what would happen if you tried addusers from the NT resource kit; I'm guessing it would just error out.

I used ldifde and excel to import a few thousand users into my AD

Looks like CSVDE would have done the trick for me, except it doesn't assign passwords requiring another script.

I normally wouldn't be afraid to learn, but I don't have a test AD to try this out with. I guess I'll just add these users manually, since I'll probably never have to do it again. Thanks for the help though guys!
