Hello SSHero and welcome…

I’d urge you to rethink using existing users as templates for creating new users. It may end up in unintentionally giving the new user more access than they should have.

[Here’s a thread you may want to have a look at](https://forums.powershell.org/t/requesting-review-and-suggestions-ad-account-creation-script/20553). The OP is also building a script for AD-account creation.

matt-bloomfield starts the discussion about the pitfalls of creating users from existing users.
