givenName, sn, cn, sAMAccountName, employeeID,employeeType,adm-CustomAttributeDate1, physicalDeliveryOffice, company, department, manager, title, adm-CustomAttributeText5, ChangePasswordAtLogon

Hello Scott,

Make sure that the manager column contains a distinguished name (DN) of the new user manager. Specifying the Full Name or sAMAccountName will not work.
For details on importing objects from CSV, have a look at the following tutorials:

How can I bulk create groups with dynamic membership rules?

I need to create a lot of groups that have similar dynamic membership rules. e.g. Marketing group that adds users if they are enabled and if customAttribute10 is "14" Sales ... other settings and attributes between them. So is there a way to do this in bulk?
