Nice - Repped

 

I go manual using Excel:

User Display Dsadd Statement UPN Display PWD Homedir Hmdrv Profile
Test01 Test01 dsadd user cn=Test01,ou=United Kingdom,ou=Users,dc=Test,dc=Local -upn [email protected] -display Test01 -pwd Password99 -hmdir "\\Test\Users\%Username%" -hmdrv P: -profile "\\Col-Scr\Test\%Username%"

All of the above uses concatenate, so that all I type in is the User field, it then results in a dsadd which I make into a batch file

dsadd user cn=Test01,ou=United Kingdom,ou=Users,dc=Test,dc=Local -upn [email protected] -display Test01 -pwd Password99 -hmdir "\\Test\Users\%Username%" -hmdrv P: -profile "\\Col-Scr\Test\%Username%"

 

Not even Sparky can do that!
Seriously, thanks for posting.

 

Ginger/Boycie - no worries

Craigie - alright, your balls are the biggest, I surrender!
