Windows Server - Mass update of sapUsername attribute

Asked By sin.e.bouli

11-Jun-08 03:27 PM

Hi there,

I have a list of users (not all) in one of my OUs that I need to update
by adding the attribute sapUsername with the value specific for them.

e.g.

sAMAccountName is Test.User1 then sapUsername is TUSER1


sAMAccountName is Test.User2 then sapUsername is TUSER2


However, i have over 300 users to update and doing this manually is not
an ideal situation! Is their any way i can mass upload these?

Thanks,

Bouli

Your favorite scripting language is Your solution. Or use combination of
cmd.exe, adfind.exe and admod.exe (last two from joe - www.joeware.net).

Assuming that You can have Your samaccountnames in a text file, each of
them in separate line, separated with semicolon from sapUsername.
Something like that:

samAccountname1;sapuser1
samaccountname2;sapuser2
samaccountname3;sapuser3
..
..
..
samaccountname300;sapuser300


You can use command line like this:


for /F "tokens=1,2* delims=;" %i in (sapUsernames.txt) do adfind.exe -b
dc=<domain>,dc=<tld> -s subtree -f "(&(samaccountname=%i))" -adcsv |
admod.exe sapUsername::%j
