How to create Active Directory users in PowerShell using the ADSI adapter:

001 002 003 004 005 006 007 008 009 010 011 012 013 014 015 016 017 018 019 020 021 022 023 024 025 026 027 028 029 030 031 032

$users = Import-Csv c:\input\users.csv $ou = [ADSI]"LDAP://OU=Test,dc=riolo,dc=co,dc=uk" foreach ($user in $users) {         try {                 $user                 $cn= "CN=" + $user.DisplayName                 $u = $ou.Create("user", $cn)                 $u.Put("sAMAccountName", $user.UserLogonName)                 $u.Put("UserPrincipalName",$user.UserLogonName + "@riolo.co.uk")                 $u.Put("sn", $user.LastName)                 $u.Put("givenName", $user.FirstName)                 $u.Put("displayName", $user.DisplayName)                 $u.Put("description", $user.Description)                 $u.Put("title", $user.JobTitle)                 $u.Put("company", $user.Company)                 $u.Put("department", $user.Department)                 $u.Put("manager", "CN=" + $user.Manager + ",OU=Test,dc=riolo,dc=co,dc=uk")                 $u.SetInfo()                 $u.Put("userAccountControl", (65536 -bor $u.userAccountControl.Value))                 $u.SetPassword("************")                 $u.psbase.InvokeSet("AccountDisabled",$false)                 $u.IsAccountLocked = $false                 $u.SetInfo()                 $u             }         catch [System.Object]             {                 Write-Output "Could not create user $($user.UserLogonName), $_"             }    }

Where most lines will be self explanatory, bar perhaps:

021	$u.Put("userAccountControl", (65536 -bor $u.userAccountControl.Value))

For which please look [1], [2] and above all [3].

And this is an example of users.csv:
