   DSADD group   GroupDN  options
   DSADD ou      OU_DN  organizational_unit_options
   DSADD user    User_DN user_options

Key
DN=Distinguished Name(s)
OU=Organisational Unit
Pretty much all the attributes can be modified (Name, display name, tel number etc)
run the command with /? for a full list
e.g
  DSADD USER /?

Commas
Commas must be escaped with the backslash \ character
(other than separators in distinguished names)
e.g.
"CN=Company\, Inc.,CN=Users,DC=abc,DC=com"

Backslashes
Backslashes used in distinguished names must be escaped with a backslash
(for example,
"CN=Sales\\ Latin America,OU=Distribution Lists,DC=abc,DC=com").

If any value contains spaces, use quotation marks:

   "CN=John Smith,CN=Users,DC=abc,DC=com"

Special Tokens
The token $username$ (case insensitive) may be used to place the SAM account name.
Entering * as a password will cause DSADD to prompt for the new password.

Adding multiple Objects
For any DS command you can enter multiple values separated by spaces.
e.g. to add several user accounts at once just supply a list of the distinguished names separated with spaces.

It is also possible to store multiple values in a text file and redirect into DSADD.
