Re: Change bulk user properties

I have around 1500 users in my win2003 AD all who have the entries:

\\server\profile
to connect them to a userprofile

\\server\users\"username"
to connect them to their home directories

I want to change these for every user to a different server name. I
remember in NT4 you could bulk edit users but not in win2003, how can
i do this. Looked at LDFIDE but it's quite a tricky process.

You can do this in the ADU&C console, hold down the Ctrl key, select the
users, then right click, choose properties, then select the Profile tab, for
the Home Directory,
use \\server\users\%username% This will create the folders with the user's
username and set permissions on the folder.
As for the profile, if you use %username% you will need to copy the profile
into each folder it creates so you should be sure to use the actual
directory that contains the profile.
