How to create new user accounts

Hello, mskhan2.

The scope of your question is somewhat unclear to me, but I can take a few guesses and see if it's helpful.

Active Roles allows you to capture a newly created user's password in the onPostCreate event, which is something you would need to define as a scripted policy. In that event, you should be able to extract the password via $request.Get("edsaPassword"). It's been a while since I've tried, but I seem to recall having difficulties attempting to do this in a workflow, even though it should be theoretically possibly. It's definitely worth a shot, though, since it's obviously easier if you can achieve your result without having to code anything.

The second part of your question, creating objects in bulk, can be achieved in a variety of ways. First, of course, is the fact that the Sync Service exists exclusively for this purpose: synchronising identity information between disparate directory services. That can be as simple as importing from a simple CSV file into Active Directory. If that doesn't serve your purpose, you can also have a look at the QAD PowerShell cmdlets included with the product. Presumably New-QADUser, in this case.

Hope that helps!

Cheers,
Shawn
