We have run Batch Create and the blogs and users appear in the system and can be edited. However, when clicking on 'backend' or 'visit' it throws an error page (Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage).
We also have the issue raised elsewhere of the blogs appearing as 'private' not 'public' but changing this via 'edit' doesn't resolve the issue

Can you give us examples of some of the URLs you created?
The most common reason site admin users on Edublogs Campus sites have broken blogs is due to the blog URLs. Batch Create assumes you know the naming convention for blog URLs and doesn't prevent you from creating blogs that disobey the naming convention. Whereas if you tried to create the same blog with Blog & User creator it would stop you.
Having a similar problem. I had 3 working sub-domain blogs attached to http://countyonline.us that are working fine. See http://nodaway.countyonline.us and http://middlesex-ma.countyonline.us and decided I would use the batch create plug-in to create the remaining 3000+ blogs. Constructed the data files and they all installed fine with the username and assigned gmail addresses. I used the "null" option for creating the passwords
I am able to access them through the main domain or with my administrative rights. They are all showing, however, they are showing a "search engine blocked" .and after I create the password and log-out of my administrative area and attempt to log back in through the admin of one of the new blogs I get a bad URL message..
See below:
Well that didn't pan out. With all of the plugins off, the login still fails if you try to re-login from the menu provided or if you use the login link on the home page.
A bad login link is being generated. This isn't a server issue.
If you log out all the way - navigate to the home page or close and re-open the site - login works.
Can you please provide us with the steps (step 1, step 2, etc) to reproduce the problem on your site?

Looks like the login redirect plugin is still being loaded. Try removing it.
I'm not really sure any of this is related to the batch create plugin. It looks like you're expecting to be taken to the admin panel upon logging in yet you're using the login redirect plugin which is designed to do the exact opposite.

Do new blogs created by registration worK? just want to make sure it's not a DNS subdomain issue first.
Also please let us know if you are using a plugins that apply to new blogs, like our blog templates plugin, default theme, etc.
Also check your error log for any associated errors please.

For example batch create would create a blog with URL such as http://edutags.net/denise.waters/ but the blog would be broken and when you visited http://edutags.net/denisewaters/ it would be a white page due to the full stop in the blog URL. Similarly you shouldn't use blog URL http://edutags.net/denise_waters/. The URL should be http://edutags.net/denisewaters/

This is the bad link generated by Wordpress:
http://franklin-ma.countyonline.us/wp-login.php?redirect_to=login-redirect
This is the correct link generated if you log all the way out:
http://franklin-ma.countyonline.us/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Ffranklin-ma.countyonline.us%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1
Thanks in advance, Ron

Thank You, Andrew.
That solved the problem.
I hadn't a clue that the login redirect had been installed when I installed a couple of other items. It didn't show anywhere as a plug-in
Once again thanks for the response, solution and tolerance.
