Importing User Accounts
You can import user accounts from an Active Directory domain or from a Windows NT domain.
To import user accounts:
1 Log on to the User Account Import Manager, and click Next in the Welcome dialog.
2 In the Import Rules dialog, click an import rule to specify the users you want to import.
3 In the Active Directory Servers and Windows Domains dialog, select an Active Directory LDAP server or a Windows NT domain.
To add an Active Directory server, click Add LDAP. To add a Windows NT domain, click Add Domain.
4 In the Active Directory Servers and Windows Domains dialog, click the Active Directory server or Windows domain from which you want to import users.
5 In the Import Users dialog, choose one of the following options:
To
import all users listed in the dialog, click Next.
To
filter the list based on Active Directory groups, click Add Filter and
select the groups to filter, then click Append to add the group filter
to the current search filter, or click Replace to replace the current filter
with the group filter. Click Refresh to apply the search filter.
You can also type additional LDAP search filter conditions directly in the Filter box. For example, "(cn=e*)" selects all users with user names starting with "e", and "(&(!cn=IUSR*) (!cn=CensusUser))" filters out all IUSR_<computername> accounts and the CensusUser account.
To
filter the list based on Windows Domains groups, select the groups you want to import from the list.
To
import some of the users, click Selected Users, then click the users you
want to import.
6 In the Import Settings dialog, select the Import as Contacts check box if you want to import contacts instead of users.
7 To add the imported users to a specified user group, such as Employees, click the group to which you want to add the new users in the Import to Group list. (Note that imported users are always added to the Users group.)
8 To schedule imports, select the When Scheduled check box, then click Configure.
