Script to update "Street" on users in AD

Hi guys.

We are switching to a new address and I therefore want to update the "Street" field on my users in AD. I don't want to do this by hand but with a script.

Can you please help me with this? I have no experience with vbs.

I want to update all users in the ou:Employees,ou:DK,ou:test. And the new value for "Street" should be "teststreet".

Thank you all.

HI

Check this to modify the street

dsquery user ou=Employees,ou=DK,ou=test,dc=india,dc=com -limit 0 | dsmod user -street test street

Let me know if you have any issue

Cheers,
Prem

dsquery user ou=Employees,ou=DK,ou=test,dc=india,dc=com -limit 0 | dsmod user -street test street

Open in new window

I get this error:

dsmod failed:`-street' is an unknown parameter.

I am running it on my Win 2003 DC.

HI,

You can do the same with the saved queries.

create a saved queiries in ADUC by following the link below

@ Query Root point the OU

@ Define Query -> Common queries -> User tab -> Name start with *
