The command completed successfully
The lines show the DN of the user being created and the value in quotes is a random password. To walk through the switches (subject to change)

 

---

-e  

I added the -e option from adfind to use switch values from environment variables. In this case the only thing defined was adfind-h=2k3dc02 which is the DC I wanted to make the changes on so the -e inserted the command -h 2k3dc02.

---

 

-add 

Add an object, this is old, you know how to do this already.

---

 

-autobase 25:cn=autouser,ou=autousers,dc=joe,dc=com 

This is brand new. It inserts 25 copies of the DN specified into the DN list. For an add you sort of need some sort of base to start working with. The individual DNs are modified by the next switch. You will note that normally you have to specify a safety value when you go over 10, this switch handles that for you.

---

 

 -bmod {{*RDN*}}_{{*cnt*}},{{*parent*}}

This indicates how to build the final DN. The current DN on the list is parsed out into several components, the specific ones used above are the RDN and Parent. There is an additional variable called CNT which is an autoincremement value.  The variables are specified with the {{*varname*}}.

---

 

objectclass::user

This is old, specifying the class of the object to create… a user. 

---

 

-kerbenc

This is also old, tells the system to set up an encrypted connection so I can set the password.

---

 

unicodepwd::{{*rnd*:6:8}}

Set the password to a random value between 6 and 8 characters long. If the min/max aren’t defined, the values are 15-25 characters. You can specify the character set if you would like (standard console ANSI only sorry folks), if not specified, the default is currently 0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ!@#$%*_-=+:;{}[],.?|~

---

 

samaccountname::{{*name*}}_{{*cnt*}}

Set the samaccountname to the same value used for the new RDN. Since the official RDN has CN= in it I introduced a new variable called name that you use here instead of RDN.

---

 

useraccountcontrol::512

Create account enabled, nothing new here.

---

 

-exterr

Display extended errors, again nothing new here.
