We had a challenge recently where all of our internal department names changed, and due to our intranet system, we had to modify our Active Directory to reflect the new names. This meant changing all usernames, public drives and pc names. We were also migrating the profiles from one profile server to another at the same time.
A manual test run of our procedure determined a 6 hour process per depart. Worried for the strain this would have on my sanity, I spent 3 hours automating this process in python, cutting the execution time down to 30 minutes of watching success messages printing to the screen. This saved an estimated 55 man hours of work.
