Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com.
Your company hires 500 temporary employees for the summer.
The human resources department gives you a Microsoft Excel document that contains a list of the temporary employees.
You need to automate the creation of user accounts for the 500 temporary employees.
Which tool should you use?
A. ADSI Edit
B. The csvde.exe command
C. Active Directory Users and Computers
D. The Add-Member cmdlet
Correct Answer: B
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Csvde.exe is the best option to add multiple users. As you just need to export the excel spreadsheet as a csv file and make sure the parameters are correct.
You can use Csvde to import and export Active Directory data that uses the comma-separated value format.
Use a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel to open this .csv file and view the header and value information.
The CSVDE is a command-line utility that can create new AD DS objects by importing information from a comma-separated value (.csv) file. This would be the least amount of administrative effort in this case especially considering that these would be temporary employees.
