Hmm, well at least it got one of the changes done. The dash denotes end of
record for each section. Maybe a syntax in that section to change RDN? This
is what it is supposed to look like.

dn: CN=unixID,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=X
changetype: modrdn
newrdn: cn=x500uniqueIdentifier
deleteoldrdn: 1

Now, if the syntax was correct, and the attribute was already changed while
you were testing it or from a previous run, maybe that's why the error
because the value it is looking for is no longer there. You can go into the
schema snapin to manually check if it was changed. Please check it to see if
they were changed. if you can't find a "unixID", and the
"x500uniqueIdentifier" exists, then that means it was already changed. if
the other way around, then it didn't change it yet.

Also look for "lDAPDisplayName" if it is "x500uniqueIdentifier" too, since
that is what it's changing it to.

You can actually change it manually in there too, but let the script handle
it to insure no errors.

Let's take a look at your file. Please copy and paste the file you used in
your reply, or attach it as a .txt file to your post, if you can. Let me
take a look at it please.
