    Hello, I'm interning for a hotel company and they would like me to figure out a way to script something to create new user accounts from an excel spread sheet on multiple servers when we either update a property or more importantly invest in buying a new hotel. So I was wondering if anyone knew of some kind of software that could be used to do this and/or how I would go about doing this. So if anyone has links to programs or how to websites or if anyone is willing to write some stuff up to help me it would be much appreciated.

    Thanks everyone!

    I'm trying to find a way to add mass user accounts onto a Windows 2003 exchange server. I found out that Windows Server 2000 has a utility called AddUsers.exe that can kind of be used on Windows Server 2003 but I'm not quite sure how to do it right, and if it works with sub categorized accounts. Anyone know how this works or know of any other program I can use to created mass user accounts from an excel spread sheet or something along these lines?

    Info on AddUsers.exe: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;199878

    I'm not really sure what HomeDrive, Homepath, Profile, and Script are for users.... Will one of those allow me to put the user accounts in different folders?

    Any way in this or any other programs that will allow me to add more info such as telephone number or Company?

    Does AddUsers.exe create email address as well or no?

    Any help is very much appreciated... thanks.
