Adding attribute in AD with csvde or LDIFDE

[Søren Skriver]

Hi All,

I need a solution to add the following text "\\fileserver\profiles$\%
username%" in the terminal server attribute. This have to be done so it
will affect all users in the AD, instead of going trough 1000 user
accounts.

I have consider something like this:

Export from AD to a .csv file with CSVDE the atributes "UserName=*" and
"TerminalServerProfile=' '"

and then import it again with atributes "UserName=*" and
"TerminalServerProfile='\\fileserver\profiles$\%username%'"

Can I do that, and how ???


Have any one of you any good ideas ???

Thanks in advance

csvde isn't an option at all. It can only be used for creating new users.
ldifde will do the job but gets a bit messy to setup.

Assuming you are using 2000, as 2003 supports bulk modifications of this
attribute, I would recommend trying admodify.net. It's a 3rd party tool
which allows you to bulk modify attributes in 2000 or 2003.

The TS attributes are not really available to modify through LDAP, the info is
in a binary string format and not a simple string. You will need to use the
various TS property COM components.
