    Does it create the users?

    And how are you running it, cscript or wshscript?

    And is your worksheet named users in the XLS file

    Hi,

    It does nothing except display "finished etc", its using wscript I think, the worksheet is called users, everything looks ok.

    Ok.. B5 is the OU you will be creating the accounts in. Is that correct in reference to your current AD setup?

    Hold up .. this is an Excel Macro

    Are you running this from within Excel???

    Yes im running it through excel. B5 is where I'd be referencing the domain. just noticed its pointing to the incorrect OU so I've changed to the correct one and its coming up with this - Unable to bind to container: ou=TestUsers,dc=edu,dc=t,dc=ie

    is your OU testuser.edu.t.ie

    DC is the name of your domain.. so you need the correct LDAP string that matches your OU

    LEX should help you out http://www.ldapexplorer.com/
