Thanks, the issue I have is exporting usernames and password into a text
file, so I can import them using addusers.exe. I could just copy the passwd
file in to text file, import the file into Excel, and strip off unwanted
fields. The problem with this is having to reset all passwords.

I have used Cacls.exe before to match usernames with folders, so maybe I can
use that in this case.
