Another alternative which may be less prone to getting you
in some form of trouble is to take some source as described by Al or even from
your corporate directory and pull off all first, middle, last names and then
write a script to randomly slam them together in various combinations. You could
also just hand build the first, middle, and last name lists yourself. Or
you could also just have one name list and pick all of the names from that
list and slap them together though the names may look a bit weird. Just have the
script make sure the three names are unique amongst themselves and to all other
names in the directory already.

I haven't seen a generic user creation utility, however in similar
situations I prefer to have a bit more control than that and would instead
create a list of user names that I can easily glance at and know the originating
directory.
If you truly want random names to work with, you may want to consider
building such a dictionary and building that directory based on that.
Something that uses maybe census or population data would be useful I'm sure.
I'd likely build the template directory with script and then use ldif to
export it for future use.
Does that help or is that not what you can use?

I utilise _vbscript_ too, but I wanted user data with a little more substance.
500 names in an ldf file is a lot more use to me than a vbs file which creates user 1, 2, 3 etc etc

So stuill I don't think he will find such .. I use _vbscript_ to populate
my AD with test data.
