I have about 150 Active Directory user accounts that I need to update the
path for their Home Folders on the Profile tab. Is there an easy way to
automate this process so I don't have to open up each manually and change the
path? Basically, the \\server\share will need to change for all of them.

Thanks,
Doug

ADMOD (joeware.net)
ADModify (google for it)
VBS script (see: MS site)

Thanks Jorge! I'm looking at ADModify. Do you know if there's a way to insert
variables into the fields, such as "User Logon Name" and "First Name",
because each user will have a different Home Folder based on those two
variables.

in that case I would try ADFIND to query for stuff (SAM and first name) and
ADMOD to put it in
