You will need the names of the users you want to import in a spreadsheet, preferably with their first name and last names in different columns.However, the more information about the user the better. For this exercise, I will use the following information:
  1. Username
  2. Login Account Info
  3. Email Address
  4. Description
  5. Telephone
  6. Location
  7. Department
Picture
In each Column add the following syntax:
  • objectClass (e.g. User, Contact, Computer, etc.)
  • Name (e.g. Bart Simpton)
  • givenName (e.g. Bart)
  • Surname (e.g. Simpton)
  • DisplayName (e.g. Bart Simpson)
  • Office (add the office location of the user)
  • OfficePhone (e.g. (555) 555 5555)
  • SamAccountName (e.g. simpsonb or whatever username format is required)
  • Description (e.g. User, Manager, Supervisor, etc.)
  • Department (add the department name)
  • Email Address (add the email address)
  • userPrincipalName (here's where you will enter the user login name e.g. simpsonb or whichever format required)
  • Path (here's where you enter the AD path e.g. OU=Pubs,DC=Springfield,DC=com
  • Enabled (e.g. $True or $False)
Note: the account will be disabled by default - more ahead.
