Guys
My company just merged with a new firm and I have to add
3000 new users to our win2k active directory in the next
week what tools do you guys recomend?
 
What does the other company have in place now? If they
have NT or AD then I would suggest you look at ADMT 2.0
for migration/restructuring.

If it's just a question of bulk import to create the new
accounts then you could look at CSVDE or LDIFDE. If you
like scripting then an ADSI script would also do the job.

Are you migrating the users across or creating new ones from scratch? If
migrating, use ADMT. If creating new users, use addusers.exe from the
Resource Kit.
I have a script that will create 3000 users in a few seconds but the
accounts will be called User1, User2 etc.
 
A third alternative would be to use SimpleSync from www.cps-systems.com.
This software can synchronize directories and you can also use it for
provisioning.
