Haha, if I would not have gotten ousted out of my first OWA session and had to retype my email (see my email from moments ago) I would have beaten you to the punch, but alas you win :)  Maybe those in doubt will have it cemented into thier minds now :)
 
Thanks anyway!

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
