I’ll keep using (for a while, at least) my VBS + Excel (hacked at MS scriptcenter), but you told me what I was looking for: set “my” users as if they were added using that wizard.

P.S. Besides your “laziness” reason, there is another one: avoid mistakes & errata

I`m glad the sample helped you.

Here is another sample which also creates the homefolders:
import-csv “C:\import.csv” | foreach-object { $username = $_.samaccountname;New-QADUser -FirstName $_.givenname -LastName $_.sn -ParentContainer $_.ParentContainer -SamAccountName $_.samaccountname -Name $_.name -displayname $_.displayname -userprincipalname $_.userprincipalname -Company $_.company -Department $_.department -PhoneNumber $_.telephonenumber | Set-QADUser -UserPassword Passord1 -ObjectAttributes @{homeDrive= ‘F:’ ;homeDirectory= “\\domain.local\Data\Users\$username” ;scriptPath=’netlogon.cmd’}|Enable-QADUser;New-Item -Path \\domain.local\Data\Users\$username -type directory}

For setting NTFS security on the homefolders I`ve used Eric McCarty`s set-FileSystemSecurity function available on his blog: http://ewmccarty.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!CE2AE9EFF99E6598!131.entry

Hint: Install PowerShell Community Extensions (PSCX) SCX 1.1.1 from http://www.codeplex.com/PowerShellCX
and install it.

Then grant the “SeRestore” privilege to the PowerShell process (needed for the set-FileSystemSecurity function to be able to set permissions):

PS > $SeRestore = new-object Pscx.Interop.TokenPrivilege “SeRestorePrivilege”, $true

Then, grant it to the current process’s token (powershell.exe):

PS > Set-Privilege $SeRestore

Then run set-FileSystemSecurity C:\homefolders domain.local

your powershell sample helped me out alot. I had some problems with setting the homedirectory and drive. Now it all works fine. In my older 2000 environment I had an automated script that also created the user folders, how do you do that after importing the users? Anyway, thanks alot for sharing this info.
