I have a new site collection. Several hundreds of users will access it. The user credentials are in an excel spread sheet. How to add these users. I don't want to mess up with current users. I can think of 2 options 1. Using FBA and save these users into SQL database 2. Creating a new OU in Active Directory. And add users to the AD. I don't have much time and I prefer to do 2. My questions are: Is it doable? If there are identical user names in different OU, what is going to happen?

Hi, As far as i know If there is any conflict between name then active directory automatically change the name to a unique name.
