You can copy Active Directory user accounts with the Active Roles Console.
To copy a user account
In the Console tree, locate and select the folder that contains the user account you want to copy.
In the details pane, right-click the user account you want to copy, then click Copy to start the Copy Object - User wizard.
Follow the wizard pages to specify properties for the copy of the user account, such as the user first name, last name, full name, display name, login name, pre-Windows 2000 login name, password, and Exchange mailbox settings.

If you want to set values for additional properties (those for which the wizard pages do not provide data entries), click Edit Attributes on the completion page of the wizard.
After setting any additional properties, click Finish on the completion page of the wizard.
NOTE: Consider the following when copying a user account:
The behavior of the wizard pages may vary depending on the configuration of Active Roles policies. To determine whether a given item on a page is under the control of a certain policy, observe the text label next to the item: the underlined text label indicates that some policy restrictions are in effect. Click underlined text labels to examine the policies that govern the behavior of the wizard pages. For more information, see Getting policy-related information.
The policy information is also displayed whenever you supply a property value that violates a policy restriction. The wizard cannot proceed until you enter an acceptable value.
By default, some common properties are carried over to the copied user account from the original user account. This includes the group membership settings as well, so if the original user account is a member of a specific group (or groups), the Copy Object - User wizard will automatically add the copied user account to the same group(s).
You can modify the properties of Active Directory user accounts with the Active Roles Console.
To modify user account properties
In the Console tree, locate and select the folder that contains the user account you want to modify.
In the details pane, right-click the user account you want to modify, then click Properties.

Use the tabs in the Properties dialog to view or modify properties of the user account.
If you want to view or modify additional properties (those for which the tabs in the Properties dialog do not provide data entries), navigate to the Object tab and click Advanced Properties.
After setting all the properties you want, click OK.
NOTE: Consider the following when modifying object properties:
In the wizard, some property labels may be displayed as hyperlinks. The hyperlink indicates that Active Roles enforces certain policy restrictions on the property. To examine policy details, click the hyperlink: the policy information is displayed. For more information, see Getting policy-related information.
The policy information is also displayed whenever you supply a property value that violates a policy restriction. The wizard cannot proceed until you enter an acceptable value.
To modify properties for multiple objects, press and hold Ctrl, then click each object. Right-click the selection, then click Properties.
You can use the Properties dialog to view or modify any property of the object by navigating to the Object tab and clicking Advanced Properties. In the Advanced Properties window you can manage all properties, including those that cannot be accessed via the Properties dialog itself.
You can also display the Advanced Properties window by right-clicking the object and selecting All Tasks > Advanced Properties.
To locate the object that you want to modify, use the Find function of Active Roles. Once you found the object, open the Properties page by right-clicking the object, and clicking Properties.
You can rename Active Directory user accounts with the Active Roles Console.

NOTE: Consider the following when renaming an object:
The behavior of the dialog may vary depending on the configuration of Active Roles policies. To determine whether a given item in the dialog is under the control of a certain policy, observe the text label next to the item: the underlined text label indicates that some policy restrictions are in effect. Click underlined text labels to examine the policies that govern the behavior of the dialog. For more information, see Getting policy-related information.
