AADS TestTool Generate Users and Groups

For testing AADS we need to have "many" users and groups. We have our own tool for quickly generating users and / or groups:

The tool can be used for

• Creating 1..999 users
• Deleting 1..999 users
• Creating 1..999 groups
• Deleting 1..999 groups

Both the username and password will have an number.
For example: If you enter the following:

you will get the following users and passwords:

Password Policy

If you want the password to be "simple and easy", be sure to have a look at the password policy, specifically the requirement for complexity:

Password Policy on a Stand alone Server

• Start secpol.msc  or the editor for the Domain policy

Password Policy on a Domain Controller

Make sure that the password policy is as shown. Otherwise it might not be possible to keep the passwords "simple and easy".

• Place the tool on the Desktop
• Start the tool with Administrator Rights

Example Creating Users

Result on Windows 7:

Create Profile

When Create Profile is selected, the Home folder of the Users will be created:

Example Deleting Users

All of the 50 users we have created earlier, are deleted...

Delete Profile

When Delete Profile is selected, the Home folder of the Users will be deleted:

Example Generating Groups

• testgroup001 till testgroup050 will be generated.

Local Groups

Desktop versions of Windows do only have what is called "Local Groups".
"Global Groups" are only relevant on a Domain Controller.

Example 50 Local Groups on Windows 7:

Global Groups

"Global Groups" are only relevant on a Domain Controller. A Domain Controller does also have "Local Groups", but within the context of AADS, a "Local Group" on a Domain Controller is not relevant. Within the context of AADS, only "Global Groups" on the Domain Controller are relevant.

In the following example Server 2003 is used as a Domain Controller. The tool is used twice on this Domain Controller:

• Create 50 users with the name domainNNN
• Create 30 groups with the name testgroupNNN

AADS Maintenance shows the created Domain Groups:

Control Panel

The TabPage "Control Panel" contains some buttons for direct access to some Windows settings.

The "Personalization" buttons can be used for customizing the Theme.

No OOBE/Privacy Questions

This is about Windows 10 and newer. Clicking on the button sets a Registry Key that prevents that New Users get to see those questions about sharing data with Microsoft:

ExitCode

The TabPage "ExitCode" can be used for testing Custom Logon.
