How to Create AD Users from CSV

Please like, comment and subscribe =)

In this video I will be showing you how to write a script that will import and create new Active Directory users based on a CSV spreadsheet. Our script will have a couple of features:

* Open File Dialog Box
* Add users to AD groups according to CSV file
* Predictable Temporary Password generation for each user
* ... And you will learn a lot about Windows PowerShell :D

Enjoy!

Hey Guys - so I messed up at 14:49 and forgot to include "-surname $user.'Last Name'" after "-GivenName" - please be sure to include that or see my tutorial page for the correct syntax.

I really appreciate this as I am in an AD DS Class for online Bachelors in cyber security and there is absolutely no direction and no instructions and I am new to this part of the IT world. So thank you for the videos and keep them coming.

Just getting into scripting and some of this went over my head, like the brackets towards the end. But honestly for never even writing a script successfully after watching this I was able too, and not just using your files, which I did appreciate for creating the .csv and all the commands and their parameters.
I can not thank you enough tools and videos like this are easier for me to digest than trying to read something.
I work for a small IT company and we have a client that has ad and all their users were still using one account to login to every machine 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
I was not only able to come in and add 30 users in five minutes but was able to set up certain users with roaming profiles as well.
Seriously thank you for this. This video really opened up my understanding

great tutorial! Is there any opportunity to get any 1:1 support? I would like to make a few modifications, but honestly, I'm not sure where to start, and my PowerShell knowledge is very beginner. Thanks

Fyi. Csv files with tabs do work. You have to cast it when importing csv. Forgot the syntax. I think its [t`] (letter t and a back tick).

Your presentation skills are very much appreciable. Thanks, buddy!

Great content about Power Shell and created users via CSV with PowerShell

[streetglidescott]

Very helpful, thanks! Subscribed, set notification and reminder! Can you help with 2 things? 1) Daily import from HR Provided DSV -- How to avoid overwriting? 2) If we already have user John Doe (Johns) and hire John Dalton, John Dapper and John Dapplen, how can I automate the login creation to reflect John Dalton =johnda, john dapper = johndap and John Dapplen = johndapp (if login exists, add an additional character to last initial value)

How can multiple group memberships be defined/separated in the spreadsheet? With a space, comma, or semicolon?

[rickyray]

Thanks this helped a lot. the only thing is I got an error at the steps starting at 19:05. Where did "Add Groups (csv)" come from? Is that the name of your csv file?

[priyaangadi]

Thank you so much sir... Please add the vedio same like this for active directory termination

how to get AD user last logon details using csv (in csv username exist)

[pa]

Hello Paul. Thank you for the video really helpful. How would I create exchange mailboxes for the same users once the AD users are created? Do I need to use for each syntax again? Thank you

5:20 my $dialog command turns red instead of green and I don't get that list. Instead nothing happens when I press enter.
