John It sounds like you do not like the command line. There are a few other options for this. I am assuming you are running 2003. Using DSA you can highlight multiple users in a OU and make this change. You could also create a search query for user objects and highlight the ones you want and make the change. My preferance would be using a either a vbscript or adfind\admod though.
