We have used the admodify tool for changing home directories.  Instead
of %username%, use %'sAMAccountName'%.  This represents the "User Logon
Name" in the Active Directory Schema.  You would enter the path as
\\server\users\%'sAMAccountName'%\
<file:///\\server\users\%25'sAMAccountName'%25\> .

Subject: [MSUNAG] Anyone use ADMODIFY.NET?

 

Nag-

 

I was wondering if any of you windows folks ever used the tool
admodify.net to do mass AD changes.  I am trying to use it with a LDAP
filter to find all users who currently have a home directory and then
select all of those users and change the location of their home
directory (we got a new box for home directories).  However it seems
when I use the %USERNAME% it does not enumerate the variable...it just
sets each users profile path to \\server\users\username
<file:///\\server\users\username>  (instead of replacing %username% with
their actual username).  

 

Wondering if anyone else has used it and possibly ran into this issue,
or has had good luck with some other scripts/tools.

 

NOTE:  I decided to use admodify with the LDAP filter because I don't
want to change the path for EVERY user, because some do not have home
directories, and those who do not have them I would like to remain that
way.

 

Thanks
