Automatic bulk Microsoft Office 365 user account creator

Tutorial Outcomes

Learn how to use XIA Automation to:

• Create user accounts in Office 365
• Bulk create user accounts in Office 365
• Generate passwords that meet your organization's policy

1. Create the Automation Profile

Create a new automation profile in the XIA Automation Administration Tools. Set the permissions as required.

2. Create the Variables

Add the variables you need to create users in Office 365 such as User Principal Name, Email Alias, Display Name and Password.

3. Hide the generated variables

The Password variable will be generated by XIA Automation so it can be set to hidden. This hides it from the end user when the profile is executed via form input in the XIA Automation Server web interface.

4. Create the Password Generation Task

To generate a password that meets your organization's policy, create a new Password Generation Task:

Assign the Password variable as the output variable and specify the settings as required.

5. Create the Account Creation Task

Create a new Office 365 Account Creation Task:

Configure the task settings as required and assign the variables to the appropriate fields. Ensure this task is below the password generation task.

Press Save Configuration before executing the automation profile.

6. Create an Office 365 Account

Execute the Create Office 365 User Account Automation Profile, either manually via the form input in the XIA Automation Server web interface, or in bulk via CSV, or automatically via file import.
