Mike, What do you have the listing of required updates in? Format, to be more specific? If it's in a text file, excel, database, it really is a fairly simple matter to extract that information out of the file through a script and into the LDAP.
Though you could do this via LDIF (CSVDE allows new records, no modify or delete), it is somewhat of an onerous process. Though, I have used LDIFDE in the past, but wrote the script to preapre the LDIFDE input file. Let me know if you require specific code snippets on how to make this happen.
