Random AD User Creator

This Python3 program will create a CSV file containing fictitious user's for an Active Directory test-lab. The program will assign the following values for each user; first name, last name, initials, username, email address, Password, city, state, country, phone number and path. The csv file can easily be parsed and the user's imported using the included Powershell (.ps1) script. The AD_User_Creator.py program uses only Python3's built-in CSV and Random packages meaning there are no additional python pip packages to install.

Note: The organisational unit must be updated within the program to match your Active Directory setup, otherwise you will run into issues when adding the users into AD.

Usage

Be sure to check the OU's in your Active Directory matches the OU's in the program otherwise you will run into issues when adding the users to the directory. (See below if unsure)

python3 AD_User_Creator.py

When prompted by the program enter the number of user's you would like to create.

---> How many users would you like to create? 100

OR

echo "100" | python3 AD_User_Creator.py

Both of these methods of execution will result in:

-----> 100 Users created successfully!  
-----> File containing the created users: 'New_Users.csv'! <-----

Add Users To AD Using Powershell

1. Open Powershell on Windows Server on your Domain Controller as Administrator.
2. Transfer "New_Users.csv" & Add_Users.ps1 to your domain controller.

Output will show

User @{Firstname=Zee; Lastname=Joseph; Initials=ZJ; Fullname=Zee Joseph; Username=z.joseph; Email=z.joseph@m4773l.lab; Password=Password-22!; City=Brisbane; 
State=QLD; Country=AU; Phone=61421455783; Department=Analysts; OU=OU=Analysts,OU=IT_Services,OU=AD_Users,DC=m4773l,DC=lab} was created successfully!

Updating Python Program To Match Your AD Environment

1. Open the .py file in a text editor.
2. Navigate to the create_email function.

def create_email(username):
    domain = "EDIT_ME"

3. Replace "EDIT_ME" with your AD domain name.

def create_email(username):
    domain = "m4773l.lab"

4. Navigate to the get department function.

def get_department():
    departments = ["Developers", "Finance", "Analysts"]

5. Update the departments or add the departments from the program into your AD Environment.
6. Navigate to the create_ou_path function.

    def create_ou_path(department):

7. Update the Organisational Unit's and the Domain Name to those of your AD Environment.

        if department == "Developers":
        ou_path = f"OU={department},OU=IT_Services,"

8. Update the string in the return statement to reflect your AD environment.

    return ou_path + "OU=AD_Users,DC=m4773l,DC=lab"

9. Save and run the program!
