The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How do I remove users from all our group in AD

Asked by Colchester_Institute in Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), Active Directory, Programming User Management

Tags: Dsmod, Active Directory

I currently have a file where I run a DSQUERY on users within a specific OU Which I then PIPE into a DSMOD USER so that i can change the Description on the Accounts.

When this is done I then end up with a DSMOVE to move the Account into another OU. This all works fine but I know want to also remove the USERS from all the groups they maybe a part of.

The current text I'm using to do all the above barring the removing from groups is as follows:

dsquery user "OU=Disabled Accounts,OU=Data Has Been Archived,OU=base,OU=Staff,OU=Accounts - Archive,DC=Home,DC=co,DC=uk" | dsmod user -desc "Archived %Date%"
For /F "delims=*" %%u IN ('dsquery user -desc Archived* "OU=Disabled Accounts,OU=Data Has Been Archived,OU=Base,OU=Staff,OU=Accounts - Archive,DC=Home,DC=co,DC=uk"') DO dsmove %%u -newparent "OU=Data Has Been Archived,OU=Base,OU=Staff,OU=Accounts - Archive,DC=Home,DC=co,DC=uk"

Many thanks for anyones help
