Active Directory user creation using ADManager Plus
ADManager Plus' "all-in-one" Active Directory user account creation feature enables you to create new users, in single as well as in bulk. This web-based Active Directory management software simplifies user account creation through its User Provisioning Templates that allow you to create a new user account with all the required attributes including Exchange Server Mailbox and LSC/OCS attributes, in just one step. Accomplishing this with only the native AD tools or PowerShell would need a herculean effort.
The icing on the cake: this tool turns the process of on-demand or ad-hoc creation of a single new user account in any OU or container in your Active Directory into a single-step, mouse-clicks based task. But it is not just single user creation, this tool turns the process of bulk user creation as well into an easy UI based activity.
Click here for steps to create users in bulk in Active Directory using ADManager Plus
- Launch ADManager Plus and navigate to Management → Create Bulk Users.
- Select the desired domain from the drop-down menu where you want to create new users.
- ADManager Plus allows you to create multiple users in three different ways, based on your convenience:
- Create user accounts manually one after the other via templates.
- Import a CSV file and auto-populate the respective attributes.
- Use a customized template where all necessary and common attributes are already configured.
- Once the users are added by any of these methods, click Next to select an existing container in which you wish to create those users. You also have the option to create a new container when you create the accounts. This can be done by selecting the Create New OU option.
- Click Create Users to complete the bulk user creation operation.

The user creation process in ADManager Plus has been made seamless, keeping in mind the struggles of an IT administrator and significance of the operation. These are the advantages of creating AD users using ADManager Plus:
While AD users can be created and managed using PowerShell scripts, they can be complex and error-prone. These are some downsides of using PowerShell scripts:
- PowerShell scripts are executed in a Command Prompt and lack Graphical User Interface (GUI) based capabilities.
- They demand technical expertise and manual labor.
- Scripts are text-based and follow a syntax.
- They are time-consuming and can affect business efficiency.
These downsides are why businesses must switch to a AD Management solution like ADManager Plus, a user-friendly and robust AD management and reporting solution.
