i have created a DSADD batch file as a test in preperation for mass user entry but i am getting a problem see below. Could someone please help me understand why this isnt working.

C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop>dsadd user "cn=Simon.Rogers,ou=NYUsers,ou=NewYork
OU,dc=globomantics,dc=com" -fn Simon -ln Rogers -display Simon Rogers -pwd P@ssw
0rd -mustchpwd yes
dsadd failed:'Rogers' is an unknown parameter.




Many Thanks
Simon

 

-display value needs to be in quotes.

Otherwise -display Simon is one parameter and Rogers is the unknown one.

Edit: Slower than Sparks!

 

That worked a treat thanks guys.

just one thing missing mainly because i havent included it is the user login name this is still blank

its filled in the pre windows 2000 details just not the one above, thought i created enough info for this to be filled out.

could you chaps let me know the details for adding this via DSADD

thanks
simon

 

-samid ?

 

No, that will be UserPrincipalName (UPN) - Pre-windows 2000 is the SAM. UPN is the topmost shown on the account tab, that consists of two parts, the username, and the domain qualifier.

THats:

-upn

 

thanks for your help guys, sorry for the questions just wanted to fully understand where i was going wrong
thanks again

simon

 

Never apologise for asking questions, if you don't ask then you end up with a real reason to say sorry when it all goes tits up!
