Create New User

User Management Resource Administrator's ability to mass create and update user accounts makes it the ideal migration companion instead of traditional scripting solutions.  The flexibility offered by our visual scripting engine, but without requiring script development and maintenance, makes User Management Resource Administrator far more attractive than any migration solution on the market available today.

"Without referring to a manual or on-line help, I was able to use the program to create 599 user accounts, create home directories, and their roaming profiles with the proper security controls in minutes, a process that would have taken days to do by hand."

Create user details

When creating new user accounts, you have complete control over all aspects of the user in Active Directory, including all custom attributes and naming conventions:

• Domain: You can specify in which domain the user account should be created.  This information does not have to be in the CSV file, but can be defined as global variable in your project.  As you can see, this has been done in the above screenshot (Set the value of variable %Domain% to....) Organisational-Unit-Container: Controls in which OU the user should be created.  This information can be defined statically for all user accounts, but can also be mapped from location or department related input from the CSV file.  
• LDAP container: Specifies a direct LDAP path to the container where the user account should be created.  This value contains both the OU and domain properties, making either of the above obsolete.  
• Domain (controller): Controls which domain controller should be used to perform the user creation and storage.  This is important in multi-domain controller environments where synchronisation and remote sites are part of the environment.  
• Name generation algorithm: Defines how various Active Directory requires names should be generated based on CSV input.  The AD requires the sAMAccountName, the UPN prefix, commonName and the displayName to be specified.  You can easily generate these names using advanced formatting functions and duplicate handling.  Learn more...  
• GivenName, Initials and SurName are properties that usually are directly mapped onto columns of the input CSV file.  Be careful with the Initials attribute since this field only allows for 6 characters maximum string length.  
• Password generator: Controls the generation of random passwords based on pre-configured schemes, which define how many different types of characters should be included.  These passwords can be exported to a new CSV file along with the username or displayname.  Learn more...  
• Password: Sets a default password or you can use the result of the password generator using the %Password% variable.   Additional attributes: Description, User profile, Logon script, Home directory, Home directory drive, Account expiration, Workstations, All account control settings, General, Address, Phone and Organisation attributes.
