Add user script from csv file

by imapatriot243 . Updated 17 years, 4 months ago

I downloaded a script from this site for adding AD users from a csv. The problem is that I cannot get the script to go past the first user. It gets hung at the first user and stuck in an endless loop saying the first user already exsists. The script creates the first user but will not go past the error message. Any Ideas?
