Often you need to create some users for test purposes. Here you have a PowerShell script, which will do this procedure for you.
# Get domain and distinguished name
$Domain = (Get-ADDomain).distinguishedname# Where to place the created users
$TargetOU = “Test”# distinguished name for OrgUnit
$OUDN = “OU=$TargetOU,$Domain”# How many users should be created
$NumberUsers= 50# fill up description field with text and date
$Datetime = get-date -format G
$DField = “TEST ENVIRONMENT USER $datetime”# OrgUnit check
$OU = Get-ADOrganizationalUnit -Filter { name -eq $TargetOU }
if($OU -eq $null)
{New-ADOrganizationalUnit -Name $TargetOU -Path $Domain}
else
{write-host “OU” $OU ” already there”}# User creation
$u = 1
While ($u -le $usercount)
{
$UserName = “User” + $u
$UserDisplayName = “Testuser ” + $u
New-ADUser –Name $UserName –SamAccountName $UserName –DisplayName $UserDisplayName `
-Path $OUDN –Enabled $true –ChangePasswordAtLogon $true -description $DField `
-AccountPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString “YOUR_PASSWORD” -AsPlainText -force) -PassThru
$u = $u + 1
}
