Well I woke up this morning
Fell outta bed
One hundred new users
They all seein' red

Gub'mint done hired them
All at the same time
Their logon credentials
Well that job is mine

And I got those new user blues
  (ba deedely dee da, da dee da dum dum)
Must'a been a bad bad boy, oh yeah, if this is how I pay my dues...

(break to guitar riff)


I know there are ways to script it, but we have a fiddly and Byzantine setup which means that each new user still requires plenty of Mark One Eyeball.  We normally trickle-create new users, which works fine, but some cunning linguist in the Department of Health decided to hire fourteen thousand all at once.  That might turn out to be smart once the dust has settled, it might not (right now it seems sparklingly, iridescently dumb).  And after a whole damn day of these, I'm close to hallucinatory despair. 

Right-click the organisation.  New > User? Printer?  Mouseslip.  No, wait!  Wasim is not a printer.  He's a first-year junior doctor.  Do not feed Wasim toner cartridges!  At least not while he's on his general medicine rotation. 

You probably had to be there.
