Re: Adding all user in a domain to a sharepoint site

Hi guys,

A bit new to accessing Sharepoint with C# and Sharepoint in general.

Could anyone tell me if there is a way to add all users of a
particular Windows domain to a Sharepoint site using C#? So that all
the users in that domain can access that site.

If so how.

Any help would be much appreciated,

Thanks,

Bob

What I found is there is a utility already available named
'SPUserUtil' available at URL: http://www.microsoft.com/sharepoint/downloads/components/detail.asp?a1=724



'SPUserUtil' is a command line tool similar to 'SPSADM'. It has two
keys 'analyze' and 'update', former is used to generate the .xml file
with all the user account information. We can change this file with
new information, save it and can pass to sharepoint by 'update' key.
So at one time you can update all the user account regardless of site
collections.



Here is the link which explains the tool in detail.
