Hi Eric, I have compared the AddUsers.exe in both Windows NT 4 Resource Kit and Windows 2000 Resource Kit. They should be different. AddUsers in Windows 2000 Resource Kit has more functions than the one in Windows NT 4 Resource Kit. I also tested to run AddUsers.exe in Windows NT 4. Resource Kit to add User Accounts from a comma delimited file to Windows 2000 domain. It was successful. So you I think you can use AddUsers in Windows NT 4.0 Resource Kit to add batch of users in Windows 2000 domain. Have a nice day!
