AD Tool?

[Sean B]

Does anyone know of a good AD tool to configure multiple users at the same
time.

i.e. Change everyone's home dir to the same path
(%servername%\users\%username%)

thanks
Sean

If you have a XP Pro computer in the domain and install Adminpak on it for Windows
2003 you can logon to that computer as a domain admin [make sure computer is secure]
and use the AD command line tools to do such. In particular you can use dsquery and
dsmod. You can pipe the results from dsquery over to dsmod to find and change a group
of users. See the links for more details. If you want a gui tool, take a look at
Hyena from SomarSoft. -- Steve
