I just wanted to know How would I go about Creating Several users at a time in Active Directory.
I know I have to somehow create these users in a word processer or excel spread sheet. My Question, How exactly do i do this? and How do I import these users?.. How about Folders, Is there a Way to Create Multiple Shared Folders?

In Active Directory Users and Computers,
1) right click on the right side of the screen
2) select New User.
3) Enter the data for your new user
4) click on create. Your user will be added and you will get a blank add new user form.

Repeat steps 2 though 4

As far as creating the in word or excel then inporting, I never heard of that

Jeff,

Use Excel to create your list, being sure to specify CN and DC information. Save the file in comma-delimited format (CSV). Then use the command-line utility csvde.exe to import your file. You can find a description of how to do this at

http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/planning/activedirectory/bulksteps.asp

just change the ldifde command referenced in the above article to csvde and import to your heart's content.

You could also just use Notepad and create an .ldf file to use with ldifde, but Excel's much simpler. Too bad Microsoft didn't think to allow you to save to .ldf format in Excel.

Thanks to Matt for your help! I tried searching Microsoft but I guess I never thought of calling it bulk steps.
