TICE-create-users

Powershell script creating user accounts for teachers and students from a CSV file

The aim of that script is to bulk create accounts for students and teachers with these features :

• Active Directory account
• Folders creation
• Folder redirection
• Network share of user folder
• Class network share + class group creation
• Netlogon script creation
• One-time password creation
• Export the list of new users in a Timestamped CSV with passwords

Pre-requisites

• 2 Organizational Units - 1 for teachers - 1 for students
• 1 Directory for Students profiles
• 1 Directory for Students documents
• 1 Directory for Teachers profiles
• 1 Directory for Teachers documents
• All the steps mentioned before can be executed automatically by launching init_paths_ou.ps1
• Extensions for Powershell : CmdLets for Active Directory : http://www.quest.com/powershell/activeroles-server.aspx

The created profiles are roaming profiles. If you want to create mandatory profiles, rework the code

I use PowerGUI Script Editor to develop and debug my code, feel free to use it as well, it helps a lot ! http://powergui.org/downloads.jspa

Files

• CreateProfs.ps1 : create teachers accounts from csv file

Additional notes

• I forced one time password for students as Toto1234, easier for everyone
• I forced passwords in teachers CSV file to keep password from a year to another, or to force it with Toto1234
