In this video i will show you how to create and Using User Templates in Active Directory.

 
In this exercise, you create a user template, make configuration changes, and create a new user based on the template. This exercise shows you that the new user you create will belong to the same group as the user template that you copied it from.
  1. In the Active Directory Users And Computers tool, create the following User object within the Sales container (use the defaults for all fields not listed):
    • First Name: Sales User
    • Last Name: Template
    • User Logon Name: SalesUserTemplate
  2. Create a new global security group called Sales Users and add SalesUserTemplate to the group membership.
  3. Right-click the SalesUserTemplate user object and select Copy from the context menu.
  4. Enter the username, first name, and last name for the new “real” user. Click the Next button to move on to the password screen and enter the new user’s password information. Close the Copy Object–User dialog box when you’re done.
  5. Right-click the user you created in step 4, select Properties, and click the Member Of tab.
  6. Verify that the new user is a member of the Sales Users group and click OK.
