Creating Users and Computers

This is a very simplified example. A production AD environment will look much different.

We need to create some users, computers, and groups in Active Directory. For the sake of testing, I'm going to stick to simple naming conventions. Open up Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) and create the following objects.

Users

AutologinUser01
AutologinUser02
AutologinUser03

Computers

AutologinPC01
AutologinPC02
AutologinPC03

Groups

Autologin Users
Autologin Computers

I'm going to leave everything in the default containers, but you should move objects to more appropriate locations in a production environment.

You can add descriptions if you want, but we're going to automate that later on as part of a PowerShell script when we examine how to handle password updates.

Add the autologin users and computers to their corresponding groups as shown below.
