Creating an LDIF file with PowerShell

Occasionally, I am asked to create a large batch of users for our eDirectory environment. Following is an example on how to create 500 test users (gotta love Here-Strings).

$path = "c:\temp\LDIF$(get-date -Format yyyyMMdd).txt"          
New-Item -Path $path -ItemType File -Force          
Add-Content -Value "version: 1" -Path $path          
        
100..600 | Foreach {          
  $value = @"

dn: cn=PSFTTest$_,ou=users,o=OSUMC
changetype: add
userPassword: P@ssw0rd
uid: PSFTTest$_
givenName: First$_
fullName: First$_ Last$_
sn: Last$_
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: Person
objectClass: Top
cn: PSFTTest$_
"@          
Add-Content -Value $value -Path $path          
}          

Enjoy!
