Although i see some dotnet classes for them its hard figuring this out for my first time. Mostly what must i be aware of when trying to add them? Multiple opinions on the matter would be fine but I really just wish to add users with basic information like firstname and lastname and maybe to specific group.

I created a piece of code to create users in our active directory (2003) Everything is working OK and all attributes are set correctly. Only if i logon with a created user i do not get the mapping H: to the homedrive. When looking in ADUC the path to the homedir is correct. Also permissions on the homedir are correct and the user is owner of the dir.
If i correct the path in ADUC to another path and change it back again to point to the homedir the drive mapping is made correctly, so it look's like some kind of attribute is not set correctly. I used ldp.exe to view the created user's attributes before and after modifying the path but don't see any difference.
Tried to create the dir before and after user creation but that's not making any difference.

I have this problem that just recently started happening.I've created this snippet that isolates the problem, which is basically, the same VBScript that used to return all of my users from Active Directory, now only returns the first 100 users.If I filter by group, then i get all of the groups (which is more than 100).The problem started happening last November, then went away for a while and has come back.The server guys tell me that nothing should have changed there.When I run this script for various domains, i get a numbered list of just the first 100 users.I'm running this on IIS (which hasn't changed)[code]
