What I've done in the past is write a DOS batch file to perform the user creation. I manually test the NET commands first then simply cut and paste them into the Excel file with all of the user names. Massage the Excel cells a bit to get a good export, then save as a text (.BAT) file. Run from the command prompt and done.

I've done this with applying file permission ACLs, creating groups, etc. Works for me.
