Users and clients, both are playing a key role in an organization. Active Directory users and computers can be the primary thing by which people are accessing the AD DS forest to access the resources.

In order to access the resources provided by the Administrator to the clients, the Administrator is creating an account that will Be Provided the authentication Pass-through the network to a specific user with a specific ID. Authentication is the process of confirming a user’s identity by using a known value such as a password, a smart card, or a fingerprint. When a user supplies a name and password, the authentication process validates the credentials supplied in the login against information that has been stored within the AD DS database.

There are two types of user accounts available on Windows Server 2012r2 and Windows Server 2016 to Create Single User on Windows Server 2016:

• Local users: These accounts have only access to the resources on the local computer. Local accounts are never replicated to other computers and do not provide domain access.
• Domain users: These accounts have access to the AD DS or in other words, they have access to network-based resources such as shared folders and printers. The Information or the database of these accounts is stored in the NTDS. dit file which is available on the Windows Server.

When creating a single user, administrators can use the Active Directory Administrative Center or the Active Directory Users and Computers console. But when you need to create multiple users at once you need to use these tools.

1. exe: The standard command-line tool for creating AD DS leaf objects, which you can use with batch files to create AD DS objects in bulk
2. Windows PowerShell: The Windows maintenance tool that enables you to create object creation scripts of nearly unlimited complexity
3. Comma-Separated Value Directory Exchange (CSVDE.exe): A command line utility that can create new AD DS objects by importing information from a comma-separated value (.csv) file.
4. LDAP Data Interchange Format Directory Exchange (LDIFDE.exe) Like CSVDE, but with more functionality, LDIFDE is a utility that can import AD DS information and use it to add, delete, or modify objects, in addition to modifying the schema, if necessary.

These tools all have their roles in network administration; it is up to the administrator to select the best tool to suit his or her skill set and the particular situation.
