I have four excel files with user information in them that I need to import into 2k Active Directory. Is there an easy way to do this... a batch file, executable, etc? Or do I have to uss the line commands trough 2000? I have had many problems trying to get the info into AD, I am about to go through and just manually create the 600 accounts. I'd rather not do this...HELP!

I'm not going to be a great deal of help here but, someone else might have done this so I hope to jogg thier memories for you...

You can import user accounts from a NT server though a command prompt utility and for the life of me I can't rememberwhat it's called. I am sure they have to be connected though.

Hope this helps a little.

you can use ldifde to import into active directory. you'll need to get your files into proper format and then you shouldnt have any problems with the import. the easiest way to start would be to export your current active directory users into a txt file so you can see what you're file will need to look like. heres a microsoft article http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;237677

This covers it pretty well: Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 237677.

Good Luck,
