account changes for all user

[Bob Smith]

Does anyone know of a quick way to deselect "User cannot
change password" in windows 2000 AD for a large number of
users.

Thanks in advance,
Bob Smith

You can create a script

or use ADModify tool

Matjaz,

Thanks for the help, Although I found ADmodify a great
tool, I did not find that specific attibute, as far as
the script center, although I do not have a lot of
scripting experience i am fumbling through this and
should be able to come up with a solution.

Thanks again,
Bob Smith

Walter,

Thank you very much, sorry for the confusion, the Single
Line was right in front of my face and I did not see it,
once I correct the problem the script ran as expected.
"You the MAN" Thanks again for your assistance.
