No. I was wanting to start off clean. I have a perl script that I wrote that will add the users in at one time. I just created one user and one machine account right now to test with. Mr. Terpstra suggested using slapcat and slapadd. I could do that, but I am actually planning on changing usernames. I use to truncate them at 8 characters, but I plan on quitting that. I am going with firstinitial.lastname. I'll look at slapcat. Maybe I can just export the machines and not the users. I am still a bit stumped on why this does not work though if I have added the machine into the ldap directory. Does Windows actually store some information about the domain also that could be causing the problem? I have a feeling that this upgrade is going to be a pain in the butt when the teachers get back. Especially with the name changes, because that means when they login, a new profile is going to be created and all of their documents will be in the other profile. I have warned and warned them to keep things backed up, and not just leave them on the computer so........... -- Scott Mayo - System Administrator Bloomfield Schools PH: 573-568-5669 FA: 573-568-4565 Question: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.
