Creating new user account is often a trivial task for most system administrators. However there is tools that can help us work smarter.
If you need to create a lot of users in Active Directory, and you don’t want to do it all manually, Microsoft has a nice little tool called CSVDE.EXE that can help you with that. It would be obvious to use this at a School, where a lot of users start the same day. With this command-line tool you can import users from a CSV file. It makes the task of crating a lot of users more simple, that you and you don’t need to create every single user, using the GUI. Below you can see a little video that shows how it’s done, using CSVDE.EXE command-line tool.
