Modify bulk users attribute

Hi All,

I'm not really expert on vbscript and been trying to search from internet about the problem that i have but just couldn;t find any solution. We are currently making a review on our AD and found users having wrong attributes.

Now, we want this to be modified in bulk. Hoping this forum could help me out.

Here's my request. I have a list of users in text file (logonname or SAMAccount). And I want to modify their country code to AU.

The script should be like this.

cscript <script name> /File:<location of the txt file> /attribute:<target attribute> /Value: <value of the attribute>

So in short, my tasks should be like this.

cscript <script name> /File:"c:\users.txt" /attribute:countryCode /Value:"AU"

You can use the ADModify.NET tool for this purpose. No scripting needed.

Hi Bill,

How exactly im going to do it on ADmodify.net.

This is modifying bulk users with same attribute value.

You will need to play with the GUI.

I recommend a good testing environment.

You can ask questions about the tool on that web site. (This is not a support forum for that tool.)

Hi Bill,

Thanks for your reply, but ADModify.NET is not going to meet my requirements. Also, their forum is not active too.

Hopefully, anyone can posts their comments.

As jrv says, I have provided you a link to a tool that gives you the ability to do bulk attribute modifications in AD, but it is beyond the scope of this forum to train you how to use it. If you don't understand how to use it (it provides a fairly straightforward user interface), then I would suggest that you hire someone to help you.

These are the first few results for a search of 'how to use admodify.net':

I recommend continuing to search if these results do not push you in the right direction. If none of this even makes sense, I'd also suggest the consultant route.

The tool is exactly what you want.  It does exactly what you asked for.

You are asking fo rsomeone to write you a custom tool.  THisforum is not a free consuting forum.  I recomemnd that you use the ADModify tool or hire a consultant.
