    Come on, Susan, this is PowerShell. We can do better than one at a time. Even assuming you want to be simple about it, you could easily create a list at the command line and import the users that way.

    $UserList = “CrisAlmeda”,”Charlie”,”Eriq”,”Dana”
    foreach ($user in $UserList) {Import-WSSUser -name $user}

    And, of course, all the other ways to get information into a list, such as Import-CSV, are available.
