I need to add a bunch of users to an AD domain and obviously don't want to manually enter. I also don't want to use CSVDE because I want to add passwords in. I don't have much of a background with writing VBScripts so i found one on the internet from techrepublic. The problem is when I run the script I get an expected loop error and the users in the csv file never get added. if I throw a loop line at the end of the vbs file it creates the user but then gives me an error that the account already exists, because it is clearly trying to run the script again. So does anyone have any insight on what I need to change to make this script run properly?
