Today I was searching for a script that can tell if a user is in Active Directory or I have to create it. I found this powerful scrip “How Can I Search Active Directory for User Names Stored in an Excel Spreadsheet?”

It reads users from Excel sheet and writes “Found” or “Not found” besides the user name.

Save it, I’m sure you will need it one day
