Welcome to the "Active Directory User Generation" project. In this project, we'll create user accounts using a powershell script to populate our domain for future use in simulated scenarios.
- Preliminary Setup for Active Directory and Network Traffic Analysis between Azure VMs
- Active Directory Deployment and Configuration
- Create a number of users using a power shell script in order to populate our domain
- Microsoft Azure (Virtual Machines/Compute)
- Remote Desktop
- Active Directory Domain Services
- Windows Server 2022
- Windows 10 (21H2)

First we will be using a Powershell script to generate a number of users for our Active Directory Domain.
- Login to DC-01 as jane_admin
- Open PowerShell_ise as an administrator and paste the contents of the script and run it.
The script will generate a number of users with a combination of consonants and vowels so the names might be unusual.

Once the script is done running, you can verify in Active Directory that the users have been created.
- Now you can try logging in as one of the users to further verify that the script has worked.
- Take note of the default password in the script (Password1)
In closing, the "Active Directory User Generation" project streamlines our user management process. Using a PowerShell script, we efficiently create user accounts, setting the stage for the next projects.
