Does anyone know of a "sample" active directory that can be downloaded and imported into, for example, a sandpit domain controller, that contains a number of dummy users, with an appropriate organisational hierarchy, different groups etc. implemented and so on?

1288579 2012-07-15 08:31:00 Yes, that's the intention, but it would be nice to be able to have a couple of hundred sample users + groups populated into it. somebody (208)
