    <p>We're trying to bulk-create users on a Windows 2012 Server system; the system is only intended to allow us to validate an ALM solution and it will be extremely short lived, which means we do not care for now for security. When running the script below, the shell reports Exception calling "SetInfo" with "0" argument(s): "The specified username is invalid." for each line in the input file. However, if we manually execute the lines inside the loop, the user is properly created.</p> <pre><code># Work on the local system $Computer =[ADSI]"WinNT://$env:ComputerName,Computer" $UsersFilePath = "C:\users\Administrator\Downloads\ActiveUsers.txt" $Group=[ADSI]"WinNT://WORKGROUP/./Developers,Group" Get-Content $UsersFilePath | % { $_ # Debug only line, remove it when done $LocalUser=$Computer.Create("User", $_ ) $LocalUser.SetPassword( $_ ) $LocalUser # Debug only line, remove it when done $LocalUser.SetInfo() } </code></pre> <p>How should we write the loop? </p> <p>[Here is the answer, as suggested by mjolinor; the main change is the trimming of the name read from the file] </p> <pre><code># Work on the local system $Computer =[ADSI]"WinNT://$env:ComputerName,Computer" $UsersFilePath = "C:\users\Administrator\Downloads\ActiveUsers1.txt" $Group=[ADSI]"WinNT://WORKGROUP/./Developers,Group" Get-Content $UsersFilePath | % { $_ # Debug only line, remove it when done $UserName = $_.Trim() $LocalUser=$Computer.Create("User", $UserName) $LocalUser.SetPassword( $UserName ) #$LocalUser.put("userPrincipalName", "${name}@svr-tfs2013" ) $LocalUser # Debug only line, remove it when done $LocalUser.SetInfo() $Group.Add($LocalUser.path) } </code></pre>

    1. COIf it works with manual input, but not with your loop, I'd be suspicious of that input file. Are you sure the user names in that file are good (no trailing whitespace, etc.)?

    3. COI'm no ADSI expert but looking at the docs, are you supposed to use the `Put` method with `SetInfo` e.g. `$localUser.Put("userPrincipalName", "${name}@$domain"); $localUser.SetInfo()` or maybe you need to put the `SAMAccountName` as well?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
