Hi
I've searched everywhere i can think of to add multiple users to active
directory at once on windows 2003, and the closest i've come so far is dsadd
which is not brilliant, but it gets the job done, except for that fact that
when you specify the home directory with -hmdir
\\server\share\%username% -hmdrv z: it doesn't automatically create the
user directory as AD users and comps does.
I looked in help and they say to use $username$ but that just puts a
physical $username$ in the path.
Does anyone know how to get this to work, or even better, a better program
to add many users at once.
I am not migrating or anything, all of these users will be new users.

TIA
