Yes? That's what line 12 does.
New users are disabled by default - is it that what you mean? And on closer inspection, you might want to add a column UserPrincipalName and change line 6 accordingly; this version will now use the SamAccountName plus the AD domain name.

Import-Csv -Path C:\Temp\NewADUser.csv | ForEach-Object {
"Processing $($_.SamAccountName)" | Write-Host
$splat = @{
Name = $_.SamAccountName
SamAccountName = $_.SamAccountName
UserPrincipalName = "$($_.SamAccountName)@${ENV:UserDnsDomain}"
GivenName = $_.FirstName
Surname = $_.LastName
DisplayName = $_.DisplayName
Description = $_.Description
PasswordNeverExpires = $true
CannotChangePassword = $true
Enabled = $true
AccountPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString $_.Password -asPlaintext -Force
}
New-ADUser @splat
}ASKER
In line 12 i can see CannotChangePassword = $true
Where I need to specify the password for each user going to be created?

Line 12 in the first script, line 14 in the new one, and it will evaluate the column "password", just like described in your question.

password will be unique for each user, using csv column can we import the passwords for each user
Again: the script will evaluate the column "password", just like described in your question.
Strictly informational: The argument for New-ADUser is "AccountPassword", and it will be set in line 14 in the second script.

Then the input CSV file should be in below format . Correct me if am wrong
Name, SamAccountName ,GivenName ,DisplayName ,Description ,AccountPassword
Name, SamAccountName ,GivenName ,DisplayName ,Description ,AccountPassword
No. You defined your csv in your question as
But as mentioned in https:#a42548961, you should have a column "LastName" (since you have "FirstName"); if you really don't, remove line 8 from the latest script version, "Surname = $_.LastName".
SamAccountName, Firstname, DisplayName, Description, password, so that's what the script is using.
But as mentioned in https:#a42548961, you should have a column "LastName" (since you have "FirstName"); if you really don't, remove line 8 from the latest script version, "Surname = $_.LastName".
