| Yes, You have a right - CSVDE doesn't deal with the passwords, You can
| import users and then You will have to set them proper passwords and
| force them to change it. This problem is good explained under this uRL:

|
| IMO the best way to do this import will be script using ADSI and setting
| up user accounts with passwords.
