Hi there, all of what you ar etrying to do is perfectly feasible, however
perhaps not by group policy. You can set certainly set user logon/logoff or
computer startup/shutdown scripts in group policy however populating user
accounts in active directory is best done in a slightly different way. The
quickest way to set the address for every user in the same location would be
to select all the user accounts right click>properties and set the address.
This is true for a lot of attributes, this is assuming all the user accouts
are in the same OU. Other ways of inserting attributes for mutiple usersare 2
built in tools, ldifde and csvde. Both are designed for this sort of thing.

We have 2003 DC's, 2003 R2 64 bit exchange 2007 server
17 offices in multiple OU's
I need to fill out all the account information for everyone and I am looking
for more efficient ways of doing that.
Currently very limited amounts of information are put into active directory
about a user.
