Question: Is anyone aware of away of creating 1000 or so user accounts to a active directory using particular naming coventions with out having to set each account up individualy under the directory.

For example: user01,user02,user03,user04....user1000 Creates 1000 user accounts based on a rule.

If any of you experts, teachers or students can give us some tricks of the trade of peforming this admin task I'd be really apreciative.

Many Thanks

Steven

here's a script which might help you:

Technet ScriptCenter -> Users and Groups -> Creating 1,000 User Accounts

In addition to what the others have already given you, take a look at the
ADSI Scriptomatic tool.

ter/tools/admatic.asp

If nothing else, take a look at the help file. It's well worth a read.

The Script Center, specifically the Users and Groups section, is excellent
and should contain everything you need.

If you're not already aware of cacls.exe, take a look. It's useful for
setting permissions of home and/or profile directories.
