How do I create a new user in Active Directory?

10:02 AM

Steps to create a new user:
  1. Login into the target server that has access to modify Active Directory
    1. Shared AD Environment => Login into the appropriate admin station
    2. Dedicated AD Environment => Login into the customers domain controller
  2. Click on the start button and navigate to Programs | Administrative Tools and click on Active Directory Users and Computers
  3. In the left-hand pane of the console tree, right-click the folder in which you want to add a user account.  Navigate to New and then click User
  4. In First name, type the user's first name
  5. In Last name, type the user's last name
  6. In Full name, type in the first initial of the first name and the full last name
  7. In User login name, retype the full name used above
  8. Click on Next
  9. Type in a suitable password using a password generator where possible
  10. Do not check the User must change password at next login check box
  11. Click on Next and then Finish
  12. Right-click the newly created user, navigate to and click on Properties
  13. Click on the Members of tab
  14. Click on Add
  15. Add any security groups that are needed  by typing in the security group into the space provided and clicking on Check Names
  16. Click OK and OK to exit out

** *Note - The user creation process does not allow UNIX attributes to be edited unless you are in the Domain Admins security group.  If this is the case you MUST use the command line script on the admin stations in IAD03 OR open a ticket with Operations Engineering.  Otherwise, if the account will be a service account or if no UID is required, then you are done.  If this is for a dedicated domain, please use the MMC as mentioned above in creating a new user.
