Here I will create user account in server 2012 domain
controller using AD Users and Computers snap-in
Step 1: Open AD Users and Computers
Snap-in
Open AD Users and Computers snap-in from Server Manager.
You can also open AD Users and Computers snap-ins by typing dsa.msc on
RUN program. You can open RUN application pressing [Windows Key] + [R] on
keyboard.
Step 2: Create an organizational Unit
Organizational Unit or simply OU is a container object of
AD domain which can hold users, computers, and other objects. Basically, you
create user accounts and computers inside an OU. I will create an OU named
Management. Right-click domain in AD users and Computers, choose New and
click Organizational Unit.
Type Management to name the OU. Check the Protect
container from accidental deletion option. This option will protect this
object from accidental deletion.
Step 3: Create New User
Right-click the Management OU, click New and
click User.
Now type the user information. Type the first name and
last name. Here user logon name is the name that the user will use to actually
log in the computer in the network. So when user tries to log in, he will type sjobs@mustbegeek.com
or mustbegeek\sjobs on username field. Now click Next.
Now type the password. Check user must change password
at next logon. The user will be forced to change the password when user
logs in. Click Next.
Review the user configuration and click Finish.
You have successfully created a user account. You can open
the properties of the user account to tweak settings.
This process is useful if you have to create couple of
user accounts. But imagine, if you have to create hundreds or thousands of
users. This process would be very time-consuming. So to create many users
within minutes you can use Windows PowerShell scripts using New-ADuser cmdlet
or batch script using DsAdd command.
