Have you checked out all the examples in the documentation? They are pretty
helpful:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sds/sds/creating_users.asp?frame=true

Additionally, here are some things to remember:
-You probably want to create users in a more specific container than the
domain root
- You need to specify the name for the object in Children.Add(...) as
"CN=testuser1"
- If your domain is running W2K, you must set the sAMAccountName attribute
before your first commitChanges. It is also probably a good idea to do this
under 2K3 so that you get to control the logon name
- You generally need to do CommitChanges before you set the password for
the first time
- If you want the object enabled, don't forget to set userAccountControl
after you've created the object and set the password

HTH,
