for /l %i in (1,1,200000) do net user TestUser%i p@ssw0rd /domain /add

If you need to tweak more of the details of the test accounts, there are a number of other options for the NET USER command, but you most likely will want to take a look at the more robust tools out there like csvde.

Thanks to Daniel Petri for this little nugget.  For a more in depth view of your options for quickly creating test users, check out his post here:
