If your organization has a need to mass-create AD user accounts, watch this video to see how its done without the need for scripting or other unnecessary complexities.

The Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) has detected problems with the following directory partition.
Directory partition:
CN=Configuration,DC=Domain,DC=Domain Name,DC=co m
There is insufficient site connectivity information for the KCC to create a spanning tree replication topology. Or, one or more directory servers with this directory partition are unable to replicate the directory partition information. This is probably due to inaccessible directory servers.
User Action
Perform one of the following actions:
- Publish sufficient site connectivity information so that the KCC can determine a route by which this directory partition can reach this site. This is the preferred option.
- Add a Connection object to a directory service that contains the directory partition in this site from a directory service that contains the same directory partition in another site.
If neither of the tasks correct this condition, see previous events logged by the KCC that identify the inaccessible directory servers.
The Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) was unable to form a complete spanning tree network topology. As a result, the following list of sites cannot be reached from the local site.
Sites:
CN=Default-First-Site-Name,CN=Sites, CN=Configu ration,DC= Domain,DC= DomainName ,DC=com
The Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) was unable to form a complete spanning tree network topology. As a result, the following list of sites cannot be reached from the local site.
