csvde – Imports and exports data from Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) using files that store data in
the comma-separated value (CSV) format. You can also support batch operations based on the CSV file format
standard.
Net user – Adds or modifies user accounts, or displays user account information.
Ldifde – Creates, modifies, and deletes directory objects. You can also use ldifde to extend the schema, export
Active Directory user and group information to other applications or services, and populate Active Directory
Domain Services (AD DS) with data from other directory services.

csvde.exe is the best option to add multiple users. As you just need to export the excel spreadsheet as a .csv
file and make sure the parameters are correct.
You can use Csvde to import and export Active Directory data that uses the comma-separated value format.
Use a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel to open this .csv file and view the header and value
