| Delegate it to HR.
Short of that get HR or someone to give you a list of the
names and script it, provide a default password of their SS number
perhaps...must be changed on first log on.
After they are created, in the same OU...mass select them
in ADUC and right click them and send them a test email to create the
mailbox.

| Ok, I skipped a step, sounds like you need these 200 to go
to separate OU's. Mass create them in one OU, mass right click them and create
the mailbox then mass send them an email.
The script the move if that is faster/easier than a manual
drag and drop. So your spreadsheet of users is:
firstname
lastname password
targetOU
convert that to comma text for your script and use the
first three for the creation and then the first two and last for the
move.

I suppose it really depends on your input data.
What have you got to work with and what is the decision criteria for the OU
differences?
Creating the objects in a particular OU and mailbox
enabling them would not be terribly difficult depending on the information you
have and want to put in there. Jim's way would work, but I think I prefer to
put them where they belong at creation vs. later. For that reason either
one of Joe's tools (admod for example) or script would be my preference.
Script would be mine but that's just because I'm funny like that. Joe's tools
are faster though both at runtime and to get working if you don't have scripts
laying around.

| Couple of options anyway. People that use CSVDE tend to then use a script to set the passwords on those objects that get created. LDIFDE would be more flexible for what you're trying to do, but I've never tried to do it with that tool. My preference would be script instead.
I'd call Deji and ask him to search his couches (is it really two? I feel like I'm hung up on that for some reason :)

If not, ldifde will let you create passwords if you want to go that route
but mailboxes would be harder to deal with it. ADMOD will not mailbox
enable the objects. For that you'd want to pipe it to exchmbx.
I'd tell everyone what the input is and ask Deji to look through his
couches (couches? As in more than one?) for a useful script. Or you
*could* use something like MSN Search or Google to find such scripts pre-written that you could
modify.
Couple of options anyway. People that use CSVDE tend to then use a script

| Sorry for the delay, as may be obvious, I am digging myself
out. I have been in a fog of craziness the last few months up until about
yesterday when I finally started seeing light and my head started clearing and
going back to old joe mode; amazing what sleep and no current responsibilities
can do for you. :o)
Consequently... joe-valanch, err at least I think that is
what someone called it before. :)

Yes, admod will allow you to create an enabled user
with the password on create. You can even use it to mail or mailbox enable user
objects but it is "unsupported"Ώ] by MS as is any mechanism that updates
Exchange objects without going through CDOEXM. Various versions of Exchange may
have slightly different issues with it.
For example the following command would create
a mailbox enabled ACTIVE account in my joe.com test domain. You can use
msexchhomeserver, homemdb, or homeMTA combined with mailnickname. Note that this
is against Exchange 2003 SP2.
G:\>admod -b CN=pato,CN=Users,DC=joe,DC=com -add
objectclass::user samaccountname::pato mailnickname::pato
msexchhomeservername::"/o=joeware/ou=First
Administrative Group/cn=Configuration/cn=Servers/cn=2K3EXC01"
unicodepwd::!SoFamiliar2Me! useraccountcontrol::512 -kerbenc
AdMod V01.06.00cpp Joe Richards (joe@xxxxxxxxxxx)
June 2005
DN Count: 1Using server: 2k3dc01.joe.comAdding
specified objects... DN:
CN=pato,CN=Users,DC=joe,DC=com...
The command completed successfully

more about the Exchange Devs not doing good data validation of attributes set in
AD than anything else.

I was going to user
csvde, but read that it did not support password creation. Is this
supported under ADMod?

I suppose it really depends on your input
data. What have you got to work with and what is the decision criteria for
the OU differences?
Creating the objects in a particular OU and
mailbox enabling them would not be terribly difficult depending on the
information you have and want to put in there. Jim's way would work, but I think
I prefer to put them where they belong at creation vs. later. For that
reason either one of Joe's tools (admod for example) or script would be my
preference. Script would be mine but that's just because I'm funny like
that. Joe's tools are faster though both at runtime and to get working if you
don't have scripts laying around.

Ok, I
skipped a step, sounds like you need these 200 to go to separate OU's. Mass
create them in one OU, mass right click them and create the mailbox then mass
send them an email.
The script
the move if that is faster/easier than a manual drag and drop. So your
spreadsheet of users is:
firstname
lastname password
targetOU
convert
that to comma text for your script and use the first three for the creation and
then the first two and last for the move.

Delegate
it to HR.
Short of
that get HR or someone to give you a list of the names and script it, provide a
default password of their SS number perhaps...must be changed on first log on.
After they
are created, in the same OU...mass select them in ADUC and right click them and
send them a test email to create the mailbox.

What's the fast way for me to
create 200 user accounts in specific OU's and create Exchange
mailboxes?
