Editing Multiple User Accounts

[Guest]

Hi, we are currently implementing Citrix Metaframe - and i have over 100 user
accounts to modify - e.g. path to terminal Services profile, and allow logon
to terminal server.

In NT 4 you could edit multiple accounts - i can't find the function in
active directory.. its there one? or does it have to be done using LDAP?

Cheers in Advance

Scripting is one way. In 2003 I believe you can multiple-select user
objects and edit them simultaneously - I don't know if you can do this in
2000, and I'm not in front of a server to try.

hmm - cheers for that - got a copy of it, and works correctly, but if i try
and editthe terminal services tab, it says:

Terminal Server Modifications Disabled. OS version 5.2.3790 required.....

I take it this is Windows 2003? is there any way around this? I am running a
2000 server with sp 4 and a 2000 domain

Thanks again for your help

Added to this,

Have installed it on a Windows 2003 Server, and it works correctly!

Thanks very much for your help!

Sorry guys,

All is working correctly, but i want to do mass changes for the terminal
server profile path.. normally it would do \\server\share\%USERNAME% and that
would work - but i have done this for a couple, and when i look in the
properties - the path reads \\server\share\username...

Any ideas?

 

[Guest]

That's correct and what you want isn't it??

You use the %USERNAME% for bulk changes - what it actually means and what it
actually puts in the computer object is the userName.

What's wrong with this? You can't have a folder called %USERNAME% ;-)

Yeah - that is what i want!

but when i used the switch %USERNAME%, when i went and looked in ADUAC, at
one of the users i had changed - the path was \\server\share\username!

Anyway - have resolved it now the switch to use is
\\server\share\%'sAMAccountName'% - all working correctly!

Thanks again for your help guys
