Take a look at Hip Communications' implementation of Perl for Win32.
It has functions for creating and deleting users (with specified
passwords), and groups.  You can set home directory, script file etc.

Should be a straight forward matter to write a Perl script to create
all the accounts from a text file.

You can find it at:  http://www.perl.hip.com/.  It's free!
