Awesome walk through, I'm taking a class where I had to do this and you just explained it so much better than the book did, thank you!
Thank you very much for this. I tried 2 scripts that i found but none of them worked. This worked right away
Just saved about 10 hours of work thanks!!!
Thank you for doing this video! Super easy to follow and super useful tool!
Really good, thanks for taking the time to put this up! Worked a treat!
Thanks Michael Raj but my goal is to not use 3rd party apps when the tools are included with Windows.
Thanks Mr Holverson. Worked perfect. Thank you.
Thank you, very useful as base to get more complicated import scripts.
Great Video. Just saved me spending money on a tool!
Super, thanks a lot. You save my day.
Good Job! Simple and works well.
Thanks a lot. That was very useful.
this video is very helpfull guys trust me
is there a way to update an existing contacts? i got like 1000 contacts many of them have no Tel. , and i have all the numbers in an excel file.
Can you help with a issue?...
I need to import only the email information of users that already exist into my active directory (Windows 2106 Server). How can I do that? Thanks.
@mrholverson - I just ran across your video. What I am looking for is we have a company HR program that exports out an Excel spreadsheet every day with the same headers. (lastname, firstname, employee_status, address, department, supervisor, etc...) I would like to have a script run against those headers and fields and update our AD. So when the HR lady adds a new employee or the department changes or etc... the script will auto update/sync with AD.
(does that make sense) - Will your script do that by simply adding or changing a few things around? Any help would be appreciated! thanks!
I was thinking of doing foreach name in the list, then create account individually for every one and add a random password and then save those passwords and and names to another file and then you would have random passswords for all users instead of one same for all users.
Thanks for the video. Which command do i use if i want to import the attributes and also set users My documents drive to a specific folder on another server?
sweet thanks dude
The problem i have is; using 2016 i don't know of all the proper field names to use to import. Example after an hour of looking around i found using the word PATH for the proper Container while creating the user. Most example used DN but that did NOT WORK in 2016. I want to add these users to groups and provide info for profile paths, and home folder locations, etc... where does that info exist???
vry ncie, tanks for teh god gude!
Thanks for the share
we use import from and export to ...basically you export from csv file to active directory..
Getting an error
the input object cannot be bound because it did not contain the information required to bind all mandatory parameters
+Tarique Eastman Ok so I got it to work. Somehow when do | New-ADUser -Enabled $True it throws the error but if i declare the password then set it to enabled it works. Thanks for the guide though really cut work in half.
What if I want to add users in different child OU's within a parent OU? How does the command differ?
Can you use the same approach for Computers? If so how?
Hi,
Is it possible to import the list of users with a User Principal Name instead of the samAccountName ?
with wich command he changed to the script file?
Nice video
good !!
how can I force the password change at first login?
how to import to a specific OU
Good Player
Does this work for windows server 2016?
Good script, but very important, can you add the "groups" necessary as well?
+gsb005 ADD this to the script: ForEach-Object {Add-ADGroupMember -identity 'CN=ASH Student Users,OU=Student Users,OU=User Groups,OU=Groups,OU=ASH,OU=Establishments,DC=Ashdown,DC=internal'
not sure how to use this with the import-csv? I'm using Import-Csv .\unames.csv | New-ADUser -Enabled $True -AccountPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString Password123 -AsPlainText -force). so is this command appended to this command?
"user logon name" empty! ... u should add the UPN inside the CSV file first.
Ibro can you show me how to do it? thanks
Can we put user's password in the cvs file.
nstavros1975 I haven't had good luck with this. The problem is the password has to be encrypted.
Does this work with Server 2012?
+Jonathan LaCava YES
+Jonathan LaCava The only part it is missing for 2012 is that it does not correctly set the User Logon Name in the Accounts tab.Also, you need to run PShell as Admin.
What about groups? Is there a video?
That's a good question. ..be nice to automate the groups and DLs. Or maybe there's a command to copy an account? I'm just starting to research this.
