Active Directory Users Question

celticfan11 · August 13th, 2007

I want to change 1 setting in all users in AD. I think MS has a tool to do a mass change. Where i set it once and it will change for every user. Can anyone point me towards this tool?

what setting?

Depending on what you are trying to change, you can either use a GPO or use a tool like csvde or LDIFDE

You can select multiple objects (e.g. users) in the same OU (meaning all of these users are members of the same OU) by using CTRL or SHIFT, then right click on one of those users, and select Properties. Doing so will give you the available options (e.g. "User cannot change password").
