How to Use PowerShell to Create AD User Accounts in Bulk in Windows Server 2016

Lets get started..

1 – For this demo, I will use my existing AD Server with Windows.ae domain and previously created empty OU call Network Branch.

My Network Branch OU is now empty without any User in it, so I would like to import 25 users in just 1 shot.

DN,objectClass,sAMAccountName,sn,givenName,userPrincipalNAme
