Easy change?

[Evan]

My company was recently purchased by another company and
we need to make the change to reflect the new name in each
user's account in AD. Is there a global way to do this,
versus changing each user manually?

What part of their name?

 

[Guest]

Sorry. I don't mean the user name. If you select the
user in AD and open the 'organization' tab, I'm wanting to
change the company name globally.

Scott, The new version of Administration Tool Pack have an updated version
of AD Users and Computers allow you to edit multiple objects so you can
define a such attribute for selected users. This updated version have to be
installed under Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, but can manage a Windows
2000 Domain as well as 2003.

In addition to what Chris is suggesting, I would like to suggest that you
consider ADModify which is a utility that you can download from the MS ftp
server that allows you to make a single change to multiple user account
objects.
