    I wrote this as I could not find any example script to do this and would like to share it with others.
    ----------------
    foreach ( $record in (Import-Csv e:\scripts\users.csv)) {
    $command = "New-ADUser "
    $DefaultGroup = $record.DefaultGroup
    $name = $record.SamAccountName
    foreach ( $attribute in
    (Get-Member -InputObject $record -MemberType NoteProperty) ) {
    $value = $record.($attribute.Name)
    if (($value) -and ($attribute.Name -cne "DefaultGroup")) {
    $command += " -$($attribute.Name) '$value'"
    }
    }
    $common = " -Enabled 1 –ChangePasswordAtLogon 1 -AccountPassword
    (ConvertTo-SecureString 'p@ssw2010' -AsPlainText -force)"
    $command+=$common
    #Write-Host $command
    Invoke-Expression $command
    Add-ADGroupMember $DefaultGroup $name
    }
    -----------------
    users.csv
    -----------------
    Name,GivenName,Surname,DisplayName,SamAccountName,UserPrincipalName,Description,Department,Path,HomeDrive,HomeDirectory,DefaultGroup
    Jennifer Wong,Jennifer,Wong,Jennifer Wong,JWong,JWong@bglcorp.local,Wiki Editor,Support,"OU=Users,OU=TEST,DC=corp,DC=local","R:","\\dc1\home\JWong",Support
    -----------------

    Also does anyone know of a method where I can add the other attributes from the csv and one additional common method  for example
    import-csv c:\users.csv | New-AdUser $_, -Enabled 1
    this gives me an error on $_ but the new-aduser already uses the for-each object so I am confused here ?
