Dear All
(Also posted this in VBScript as i dont know which applies more !!)
Below is a full copy of my code to date which seems to work nicely.
Im still tinkering with it as parts are yet to be added home dir etc.
Basically it pulls users from a CSV and creates their accounts.
However how on earth do i add them to a group....????
Every user will by default need to be a member of the "students" Group so
can this be hardcoded somehow..?
Then they need to be a member of a more specific group pertaining to that
class only.
Ideas anyone..?
Cheers
Paul
