Hello, I'm looking for tool/script to simulate logon and logoff users. I need to test M$ w2k3 server performance. Has anyone ideas ? Best regards, Xentri

I have never see something like this. Diego Piffaretti- www.mundotecnologico.net

what kind of scenario do you want to try to test? logons like terminal sessions? network logons like someone logs on at a client?

Thanks for replay. I need to test interactive logon. I need to test load on DC when user logon and check growing of Security logs. Best regards, Xentri Adtest can simulate logon but adtest –r newroot –root 0 –t 20 –sf –o newroot.log didn't work. Missing paramater: -run [Test to run] :(

did you try to specify the adtest.ats file with the -f parameter?

FZB I tried use to adtest.ats with -f but without success. In adtest.mht I should use adtest –r newroot –root 0 –t 20 –sf –o newroot.log to create OU's. When I put this instruction to cmd I got error Missing paramater: -run [Test to run] . When I use adtest -run newroot –r newroot –root 0 –t 20 –sf –o newroot.log it works but this command create me only one Division not 20 as mentioned in adtest.mht ( I run this command from DC ) Next step described in adtest.mht is adtest –r user –root 0 –t 20 –sf –o user.log which should create users. But this instructions doesn't work. I got faild. Best regards, Xentri

does it work if you replace the -r with -run? ( adtest –run user –root 0 –t 20 –sf –o user.log )

thank's for answer. It works in that way: adtest -run newroot -root 0 -t 20 -sf -user administrator -password <pass> -o c:\newrool.log and It works. How to create 100 000 user each 5000 in every OU with one command ? When I run adtest -run user -root 0 -t 20 -seq -m -bt -sf -user administrator -password <pass> -o c:\user.logcls It created only 20 accounts, one per one OU. Is there any document with syntax ats file ? How to build own ats file ? Best regards, Xentri

I am not aware of more docus beside the mht file that is in the adtest.exe folder. if you open the ats file, at the top are 3 #defines, with these you can influence the number of objects it seems, see comment starting from line 9. you propably can also directly edit (or copy the section User to eg myUser and edit there the RANGE Value. youd call it with -run myUser then). however, rather test this in a non production environment, i havent tried this out myself, so no idea what could go wrong.

Thank's very much FZB. I fouded my mistake . I use copy and paste and something was wrong. When I just rewrite command everything works perfect. Thank you onec more. Maybe you or someone know how to simulate logoff using adtest ? Best regards, Xentri
