You can using the LDIFDE, CSVDE utilities to import users in bulk. They are installed by default on most Windows 2000 servers.

You can use cusrmgr.exe from the W2000 Res Kit. It lets you create new users, set passwords, descriptions, home folders, drive letter and logon scripts along with a few other options. Try cusrmgr.exe /? to get the full options.

If you create a new column in your spread sheet and stick in the cusrmgr.exe syntax into the first field then auto fill the column then you should be able to cut and paste all the text into notepad and save it as a batch file(users.bat)

Run the batch file from a command prompt and output the file to a log so you can check for any errors.

C:\users.bat > c:\users.log

This should be run on a DC within the domain.
