Explanation for SAM entry
Within the https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/24541.powershell-bulk-create-ad-users-from-csv-file.aspx#Code_Used webpage which contains instructions on creating a CSV spreadsheet that contains fields such as the user's firstname, lastname, maildomain, etc. what should be entered within the SAM spreadsheet column?
I understand what all of fields need except for the SAM field. What should be entered within the SAM field?
Firstname | Lastname | Maildomain | SAM | OU | Password | Description
User | Test01 | contoso.com | utest01 | OU=Standard Users,OU=Users,DC=domain,D
One of the lines of code explains the syntax as " New-ADUser -Name "$Displayname" -DisplayName "$Displayname" -SamAccountName $SAM -UserPrincipalName $UPN -GivenName "$UserFirstname" -Surname "$UserLastname" -Description "$Description" -AccountPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString $Password -AsPlainText -Force) -Enabled $true -Path "$OU" -ChangePasswordAtLogon $false –PasswordNeverExpires $true -server domain"
Please provide me with the correct entry that should be used for SAM.

SAM is the SAMAccountName. This is generally referred to as the username.

I keep receiving an error message when I try to import the user information from the .CSV file.
Please see my other question "Correct syntax for CSV spreadsheet to create Server 2016 AD accounts" posted here: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/29050416/Correct-syntax-for-CSV-spreadsheet-to-create-Server-2016-AD-accounts.html and let me know what needs to be corrected so I will be able to create these usernames using the CSV spreadsheet running within Windows Power Shell.

Casing is sAMAccountName

I have made that change but still continue to receive the exact same error message.

Shaun Vermaak,
Thank you for your comment.
I am now aware and am more careful about using the correct case within PowerShell.
