  • The general process should be 1) export user data from SQL server with some script, 2) import it to Active Directory.
     
    Active Directory supports to import bulk users from a .csv file. Here is script on how to Import users in Active Directory from CSV file, please take a look and see if it helps:

    I'm not sure about your SQL database, it might have some differences in attribute mappings between the SQL table and Active Directory. You might need an additional script to make some modifications to the .csv file exported from your SQL server.
     
    For further assistance/any questions about the script, I'd suggest post in the script forum:
