Mitch, the EXCEL concatenate script that Chad sent will do exactly what you want. Once you have the result column, you simply copy/paste the outputted values to a batch file and run that.

I will attach a spreadsheet with an expample.

I need a little more help though. In the F column I don't really understand it much. What do you use as the formula. Mitch From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Frerichs, Chad Sent: Monday, June 16, 2008 1:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [info-tech] I actually use a spread sheet to generate the bat file for everyone.A1 = first name, B1 = last name, C1 = year of graduation, D1 = RIGHT(C1:2) & LEFT(A1:2) & (LEFT(B1:4), E1 = whatever the password you want is. I generate mine randomly. F1 = "CN=" & D1 & ",OU=2010,OU=HS Students,OU=Students,DC=local,DC=okoboji,DC=k12,DC=ia,DC=us -pwd " & E1 & " -canchpwd no -pwdneverexpires yes" Then I select column F and copy and paste into a bat file. It should be pretty easy for you to modify for your uses. I use a similar method to create all the new users for the year.

I would like to be able to just reset them to their first name or username. I think I could take this one and rewrite it a little bit but any other help would be appreciated.

If you mean groups of people, you can just write a .bat file like this. One line for each user. There are more options but these are the ones I use. Dsmod user "CN=10AlKreb,OU=2010,OU=HS Students,OU=Students,DC=local,DC=okoboji,DC=k12,DC=ia,DC=us" -pwd XXXXXXXX -canchpwd no -pwdneverexpires yes This is what I do every year for new student passwords.

Instead of having to go through each individual student and teacher. Thanks Mitch
