Hi :) & :welcome:
Server 2008 R2 x64, I need help to create 100+ computers, the list is easy:
Student00
Stutend01
.
.
Student99
Teacher00
.
.
Teach22
saved them at a CSV excell and I need help to create the powershell script.
I manage to create the users script using some examples at the web but can't find computer script.
Thanks :pop2:for the help!
Edit: On second thought look here: http://wiki.powergui.org/index.php/New-QADComputer
Thanks Chris for the fast reply but all that I know (from other links) and tried and failed :(
I was hoping for something like this:

which will create the computers..Thanks ahead :)
Does it have to be PowerShell?
Can't you just use dsadd?
dsadd computer <ComputerDN>
Ben
OK the command works fine.
all I need is to make a powershell script which will import the data from a CSV file out of the command:
New-ADComputer -Path "CN=CampusComputers,DC=AllStudents,DC=local" -Name "Student00" -SamAccountName "Student00" -DisplayName "Student00" -Descriptio "Description00" -Location "MerkazIT" -Enabled $true
Can someone help me with that ?
Thanks :)
I am not totally sure but would it be something like
$list = Import-Csv C:\computers.csv
foreach($entry in $list)
{
Your command replacing the parts of the line with list entry
}
eg New-ADComputer -Path "CN=CampusComputers,DC=AllStudents,DC=local" -Name $($entry.computerName) -SamAccountName $($entry.samAccount) -DisplayName $($entry.displayName) -Description $($entry.description) -Location $($rentry.location) -Enabled $true
This assuming your list has Name, SamAccountName, DiplayName, Description and Location in the csv
I am not sure if this is right as I do not have much experience in powershell...I will try test it here to and see my own mistake
;) just removed the 'try' and 'catch' and it worked like a charm :-)
:clap2: to everyone helped, also my scripts for the groups and users works great now that the computers joined the AD.
is a restart a must ?
Yes, the newly-joined computer should restart to complete the domain join and begin to receive machine-level Group Policy settings from the domain.
