Scripting Active Directory attribute changes

Visual Studio39
Hello everyone,



I'm looking for a tool, where I can read from a CSV or TXT list of user

objects, and then make changes to a particular attribute to all the listed

users. I was hoping that there may be a microsoft tool in one of the resource

kits that could accomplish this, however I have been unable to find one.

It can't be third party or anything that cost $$

I have been considering scripting something using VBscript, but would prefer

not to if possible.

If there are no tools, if anyone knows of any VBscript website where

possibly a script like this is already available or with sample code that can

point me in the right direction would be a great help.



Thanks everyone

Re:Scripting Active Directory attribute changes

I'm not sure I completely understand what you are trying to accomplish,

but if you are looking for a utility to process text files, you might

try GREP. A Windows version is available at ... www.wingrep.com/">www.wingrep.com/



Hope that helps!

Re:Scripting Active Directory attribute changes

I'm looking for a way to search active directory for a particular user

attribute. Once a list is compiled of all the user objects that have this

particular attribute value, I would like to be able to read from this list,

and modify certain attribute values of only the users on the list....
