thanks, but creating bulk accounts is not a problem. there are many ways to do this. what i am looking for is a scripted way to bulk create 100's of groups and populate with members.
Dude these are scriptable tools use accordingly to create your script. you will have to put some efforts to create script as per your requirement. Thats all you can get

just create excel with the 1st cell as the parameters in the script and below will be the value like
-alias $_.alias (in this case script will take the cell alias as the alias of the account created.)
