Creating large number of accounts

[smathe3]

Hi, we are testing a new portal that will get 13 hits per second at peak times using AD auth. I need to create 1,000 test accounts to stress test the system. Is there a way to quickly create these accounts as such: abc00001, abc00002, etc?

Re: Creating large number of accounts

Our User Commander utility can create bulk accounts based on a text file input:

I've purchased the SystemTools Commander. Can you provide sample text that can be used for creating bulk users? Thanks.

It depends on what you're looking to set for your users, but a basic input file would look similar to:

SomeUser SomeUser ~=NORMAL_ACCOUNT Password8512
AnotherUser AnotherUser ~=NORMAL_ACCOUNT Password8512

You'll configure the attributes in SystemTools Commander to match your file, such as:

%RDN%
samaccountname
useraccountcontrol
%PASSWORD%

The help file has more details, but try a simple file like this and let us know the results.

Is there any way to have Hyena/SystemCommander auto-generate the Username/RDN, based on the samaccountname and sn fields?

I mean without having to specify it in your .csv or .txt file before importing and validating

No, we don't have such an option. There are a lot of possibilities with the samaccountname, sn, givenname, etc. and we feel there are just too many variables.
