A prerequisite for the following is
As a start I have to figure out the command that simply creates the user based on my requirements.
The CSV headers that I have are “FirstName”, “LastName”, “Alias” which I will use for account name and “TempPass” which is a column with randomly generated passwords that the users will initially have to use.
I got the following command working:
new-aduser -samaccountname smithj -Name "John Smith" -GivenName John -Surname Smith -AccountPassword (Convertto-securestring -asplaintext "Bgve1Y24" -force) -changepasswordatlogon $true -Country "US" -DisplayName "John Smith" -Enabled $true
