Adding users to a domain using Import-CSV | new-qadUser cmdlet

Load the snap into the Powershell environment

set-Location c:\
Add-PSSnapin Quest.ActiveRoles.ADManagement
Get-PSsnapin
Set-QADPSSnapinSettings -DefaultSizeLimit 0
Get-Command Get-QAD*

Next, define the users domain into a CSV file. For example “USERS.csv”

name, displayName, givenName, sn, sAMAccountName, UserPassword
Troy Williams,Troy Williams (O),Troy,Williams,troy.williams,XXXXX
Beth Williams,Beth Williams (O),Beth,Williams,beth.williams,YYYYY

 Note that the CSV file must be saved and encoded in Unicode format not in ANSI. Use the notepad to alter this feature.

Finally, load and pipe the CSV content using the Import-CSV to the new-qadUser cmdlet

Import-CSV .\USERS.csv | %{new-qadUser -ParentContainer ‘OU=PruebaSimon,DC=simonalsa,DC=com’ -DisplayName $_.’displayName’ -FirstName $_.’givenName’ -LastName $_.’sn’ -Name $_.’name’ -sAMAccountName $_.’sAMAccountName’ -UserPassword $_.’UserPassword’ }
