If you're only concerned about home directories, you can use the native Administrative Tool "Active Directory Users and Computers". Select all the users you want to modify and right-click "Properties". You can go to the profile tab and click "Home Directory" to modify a property for multiple objects. It does allow the use of %username% Also, to avoid this problem in the future, you may want to investigate the use of DFS... it's a very flexible way to mange, load-balance, etc. your network shares. I use domain DFS root so that I can replicate the published links across both domain controllers for additional reliability. You can then use notation like this for mapping user directories: \\domain.com\dfs\User\%username% where \\domain.com\dfs is my dfs root. The link "User" points to a share \\some-server\User. If some-server is replaced with some-other-server, I only need to update the DFS link on one of the domain controllers to point to \\some-other-server\User. Boom it's replicated, and boom no headache of remappings. I use this for any/all network shares here in Jackson Hole. I can send you my documentation on it if interested. dpk On 8/2/07, Ehren Benson <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Nag- > > I was wondering if any of you windows folks ever used the tool admodify.net > to do mass AD changes.
