Create users in Active Directory from Domino 6 LDAP user database?

Right now the company I am consulting for has it's users authenticating via LDAP on a Domino 6 server.
They have Active Directory implemented but with no users existing yet.

They want identical users created in Active Directory so that the users will be authenticating to AD primarily and
then accessing the notes server for email only.

Problem is, it's about 3,000 users.

So, basically I need to know the best way to use the existing Domino 6 user database to create the users in
Active Directory.  Is there a way to copy the users over to AD?  Maybe a tool that does this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated... I'm clueless when it comes to Domino.

Thanks,

Danny

You would probably have to export your existing directory of names (cn=James Smith,ou=MerryValley,o=Acme) and ask the LDAP server to import them.  

But if you are running Active Directory, I think you can import your Active directory into LDAP: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/technologies/activedirectory/howto/bulkstep.mspx

You can do a test export from LDAP to see what the format is that it requires...
You can write a script agent to cycle through your NABs and export people using the export format, to import them into LDAP..

Good article: http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/Logon/Logon_CSVDE_import.htm

On the Notes Side, I think you would have to add the LDAP directory to directory assistance.  Please look at: The LDAP Service in the Notes Administrator's guide.

Problems, I think, you are going to have is managing user changes and deletions unless you merge Domino and Windows authentication.

I can be wrong..:)

Does this help?
You could come up with a series of scripts that write a series of "remove"  ldf files that are executed by a windows scripting file
