Re: Create New User and Home Directory

Hi,

The script can be run from any computer joined to the domain, as long as the
user has sufficient rights in the domain.

The script can be modified to create home directories for existing users.
Instead of creating the users, bind to the user object with the
Distinguished Name. The code that checks for existence of the home folder,
creates it, and assigns permissions would be the same. I have a similar
program that modifies profilePath for users linked here:

http://www.rlmueller.net/UpdateUserProfile.htm

There is also a link to a program (CreateUserList3.vbs) to create the
spread*** with Distinguished Names of all users. You would remove users
that should not be modified, then add columns for home directory info.
Between these two examples you should be able to create a program to do what
you want.

Thanks. I will try this.

Do I have to run it on the server itself, or can I do it from a computer
attached to the domain?

Next question - is there a similar script to create home directories for
users already in Active Directory, and assign them rights?

Is there a way to create a new user along with home directory (and

Ideally I would like to be able to import a list of new users from a
list that I have. There are several.

Hi,

I have an example VBScript program that creates users from the
information in an Excel spread*** linked here:

http://www.rlmueller.net/CreateUsers.htm

The script assigns values for home directory, creates the home directory
folder if it does not exist, and assigns permissions. You may be able to
use this.
