admodify.net is better (and replaces that
tool)

You might also try ADModify from the PSS ftp
site. It allows bulk modification and also allows you to narrow down the
focus to certain OU, users etc using limited wildcards.

You can easily dump all this data with
either csvde or adfind and the included perl script (the latter is probably
better). As for importing it back in, you'll need some sort of simple script
which takes the DN from the csv file and sets the values accordingly.

Hi all,
If you remember some of my previous posts, I've had issues with excessive
numbers of Domain Admins and a poorly managed Active Directory network.
I have now managed to control the number of Domain Admins to a suitable
manner for our environment and delegated the appropriate permissions for the
Service Desk.
I now need ton data 'cleanse' Active Directory due to the number of
fields which contain incorrect data which has been manually entered by previous
Service Desk users.
The fields which are showing incorrect data are the ones in the General and
Organization tabs. Fields such as Description, Office, Title,
Department etc are all showing the wrong data and are
inconsistent. There are potentially 3500 users which may require
account fields to be modified
What I want to do is to clean this up. Is there a way in which I can export
this data to an excel spreadsheet and then re-import with out duplicating any
accounts? Do I need to script this?(if so, does anyone have any scripts?)
Alternatively, is it worth employing someone to do it manually? time
consuming and probably not the most favoured option, though any idea's would be
appreciated.
Oh, it's a Single W2k3 domain, 2003 FFL,
thanks...
