What is the best way to create user accounts, complete with Exchange (5.5) mailboxes, user permissions, group memberships and personal folders using a CSV text file as the input mechanism? Is there a single-step method, or must this be accomplished via several different command-line utilities (xcacls, etc.)?

I'm sure this won't answer your entire question but the addusers tool included with the WinNT Resouce Kit allows you to create, add and delete users and groups using a CSV file. Good luck.

- I think you can develop one batch file which does the job. The batch file will call the required command line utilities needed to do the job.

- You then run the batch file from the command line and give the user name as a parameter and also any other needed parameters (login name, ... etc.)
