PowerShell Script to create new ActiveDirectory Users

This assumes you have a CSV file with three columns

FirstName,LastName,SAM
John,Doe,jdoe



The script...


import-module activedirectory

import-csv "C:\....\useraccounts.csv" | ForEach-Object {

  $newUPN = $_.SAM + "@ad.somewhere.com"

  New-ADuser -SamAccountName  -GivenName $_.FirstName -Surname $_.LastName -Path "OU=YourCompany,DC=ad,DC=somewhere,DC=com,DC=nz" -Name $fullname  -DisplayName $fullname  -AccountPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText "P@$$w0rd" -Force) 

## you may also want to set the UserPrincipalName at the same time 
## ie: include it above instead of down here.





# set-aduser -identity $_.SAM -UserPrincipalName  $newUPN 

 }
