I've been given the task of creating all the new year 7's AD accounts and I thought just use DSADD and put together a script using excel

Anyway I've hit a snag, it keeps erroring out with "cn=Test User,ou=Year7,ou=SHS Users,dc=shs,dc=local directory or object not found"

here's my script

dsadd User "cn=Test User,ou=Year7,ou=SHS Users,dc=shs,dc=local" -samid p9000 -upn [email protected] -pwd password -mustchpwd yes -fn test -ln user -email [email protected] -desc test-form -hmdir \\fileserver\p9000 -hmdrv N: -empid 19482 -memberof "cn=Students,ou=Groups,ou=SHS Users,dn=shs,dn=local" "cn=Year7,ou=Groups,ou=SHS Users,dn=shs,dn=local"

I've checked the OU names and locations and everything obvious it's definitely shs.local>SHS Users>Year7

Were using server 2008

I know its probably obvious but I tired and not seeing it

Any Help appreciated.

EDIT

PLEASE IGNORE QUESTION: I Realised there isn't a space between SHS User, I really need to catch up on some sleep, Sorry all for any time wasted

P.S. Greg you are also right that does need changing

    are you 100% sure about that DN? Try adding a user through the (GUI) tools and then dumping the account to verify.

    You may also want to check out the accepted answer on this similar question for an alternate way of creating the account (PowerShell's New-ADUser versus dsadd). What you're doing should work just fine, but I think New-ADUser is "The New Hotness" for this :-)

    I'm assuming "cn=Students,ou=Groups,ou=SHS Users,dn=shs,dn=local" probably should be: "cn=Students,ou=Groups,ou=SHS Users,DC=shs,DC=local"
