Hi,
try using csvde to update the users, but then if you want to do it by script then you can do the following...
www.computerperformance.co
Also use the AD Schema to find out the user variables under the user class that you want to update.
The pseudo code is.
Dim define your variables
Connect to AD create a list of usernames
Connect the filesystem object to the text file
take first name in the AD
this bit is where you compare the username in the text file to the user name in the AD
If found then
Update the fields you want updated
Else
keep looking for user
End if
Loop
End of script
With that schematic you should be able to build your script looking at the examples provided in the sites I above.
(sorry I would write it for you, but then that would take me a little while over my lunch break)
If you need help, let me know.
Regards,
Pritesh
Hi Sharath,
Make a text file (C:\EmpInfo.txt) in notepad with following information:
Dn: CN=Farhan Kazi,OU=Accounts,DC=Traini
changetype: modify
replace: St
St: Sindh
-
Dn: CN=Farhan Kazi,OU=Accounts,DC=Traini
changetype: modify
replace: postalCode
postalCode: 75600
-
Dn: CN=Farhan Kazi,OU=Accounts,DC=Traini
changetype: modify
replace: c
c: PK
-
Dn: CN=Irfan Asim,OU=Finance,DC=Trainin
changetype: modify
replace: St
St: Victoria
-
Dn: CN=Farhan Kazi,OU=Finance,DC=Trainin
changetype: modify
replace: postalCode
postalCode: 3001
-
Dn: CN=Farhan Kazi,OU=Finance,DC=Trainin
changetype: modify
replace: c
c: AU
-
Note To Modify attributes in AD it is very important that the following format be followed for the import file, especially the "-" on a single line followed by a completely blank line on the next line.
After making EmpInfo.txt file with above information import it using LDIFDE utility.
Click Start -> Run -> Cmd.exe
LDIFDE -I -F C:\EmpInfo.txt
You need to change "DN" value as per your user account info and the values of St:, postalCode:, and c:
Following will change State to 'Sindh' for user Farhan Kazi
Dn: CN=Farhan Kazi,OU=Accounts,DC=Traini
changetype: modify
replace: St
St: Sindh
-
Following will change the postal code.
Dn: CN=Farhan Kazi,OU=Accounts,DC=Traini
changetype: modify
replace: postalCode
postalCode: 75600
-
Following will change the Country.
Dn: CN=Farhan Kazi,OU=Accounts,DC=Traini
changetype: modify
replace: c
c: PK

If you are not interested in above method of modifying user information then use following batch script.

Well The easy way would be to select all of the users that the change needs to be made to from within AD Users and Computers. Right click and go to Properties. From there you can select and apply changes the bulk user objects. If you have to script it you should be able to use "dsmod user" to change those attributes. I'm not sure what switch(s) you will have to use though.
