Let’s Talk And Tell

CREATING A NEW GROUP

1. After creating an Organizational Unit in your Active Directory, you are

ready to create your first group. Go ahead and select your OU and then right-
click in the blank area. Next, point to New and then select Group.
2. The next step is to name your Group, select the group scope and then select the
group type.

In this example we are going to name our group CSS User. We are also going to
leave the default selections for group scope is Global, and group type is Security >
click OK.
4. Our new group has been created!

USER ACCOUNTS
 it allow users to access network resources.

Creating account using server manager

1. Open Server Manager open Roles click Open Active Directory Users and
expand the domain name (itsmeismael.com). Select the Organization Unit
(CS Students) where you want to create the new user account.
2. In the empty area, right-click select New and click User. You can also
right-click the OU and click New and select User to create new user
account.

3. New Object dialog box will open as shown below. You can fill in the user
information like first name, lastname etc. As you can see below, there are
two user logon names. The first User logon name also called User
Principal Name (UPN) superUser@itsmeismael.com which is email
like name that can be used to login to domain joined computers. Second
user logon name (pre-Windows 2000) also called SamAccountName can
also be used by user to login to domain-joined computers in the form
itsmeismael\superUser. After entering the user details, click Next.

4. Enter password for the user. You can choose various options as shown
below. Once you are done, click Next.
5. View the summary then click Finish.

CREATE ACCOUNTS USING COMMAND LINE

You can also add users by using DSADD command line option. IT allows you
create users using command prompt.

DSADD is a command-line option that will allow you to create users with
commands.

Syntax
dsadd user ”cn=Username,ou=OUName, dc=YOurndomain,
dc=yoursuffix”

Example
dsadd user “itsmeuser, ou=CSSStudents, dc=css, dc=com”

If you are going to add users’ complete name use the following syntax.

dsadd user “itsmeuser, ou=CSSStudents, dc=css, dc=com “ –fn

Ismael –ln Balana –pwd css_2016 –mustpwd no

If you want fast and easy creation of users just use the following codes, but
this time you need type the codes using Notepad or any equivalent text
editor.

1. Open notepad or notepad++ > then type an example shown below

Syntax
dsadd user “cn=%1, ou=OUName, dc=YourDomain, dc=YourSuffix” –fn
%2 – ln%3 –pwd Password –mustchpwd yes

Example:
dsadd user “cn=%1, ou=CSSUsers, dc=itsmeismael, dc=com” –fn%2 –
ln%3 – pwd css_2016 –mustchpwd yes

2. Save it as “addUsername.bat” in accessible directory.

3. Open command line, navigate to the directory where the script resides and
type:

Syntax
addOUName username firstname lastname

Example
addCSSUsers itsmeismael Ismael Balana

4. Open server manager OU and check the result

Moving users into a Group

1. In order to move existing accounts into a group, you need to hold down the
Control key and click the user or computer accounts that you want to move
into that group.
2. Then you need to right-click on any one of those accounts and select
Add to a group.

3. Next, Type the group name and let the machine find it.

In our example, I will type CSS Users and then click on the Check names
button. Once the name is verified and group name is found, the text will be
underlined and you can click the OK button to continue.
4. Now all of these accounts are part of our CSS Users group.
