Matt M shares some useful code ...

Over time, we've amassed a number of useful scripts written "on the fly". Most include code from the public domain, and may not be appropriately credited (so if you see your code, please do let us know so we can credit it!). We've put a lot of time and effort into these to solve various problems for customers, and often they're reusable.

The first script we're making available deals with bulk creation of users on the local machine. We recommend Windows Script v5.6 to run it, and it will probably only work on Windows 2000 and above. Extract the files to a folder on your machine, customize the VBS file to include the intended machine name, and edit the CSV file in Notepad or Excel to include the users you wish to include.

The scripts are provided "as is" and without warranty. They have been tested but are not guaranteed to work as expected on all mixes of machines and software.

We had written a script to do the same in Active Directory but seem to have misplaced it. Not to worry. Some very useful AD stuff to come.
