We have our own CRTUSR command.  One of the things it does is ADDDIRE (Add
Directory Entry).  This enables them to send and receive distributions.

Every profile on our systems is enrolled in the system directory.   Our
descriptions are reasonably consistant because of our CRTUSR:  our command
has blanks to fill in for last name/first name, which makes auto-enrolling
people easier.

We enroll people with LASTNAME / FIRSTNAME as the 2 parts of the directory
entry; no SYSTEM / USER kind of thing for -us-.    (:

If you want to automate the process, you can display all user profiles to
an outfile, then loop through the file, adding directory entries.

The tricky part is parsing name or location or some such from the
description.   You may have to create a work file, then hand-tune the
directory entries you want.
