Hi,

Is there a free utility that will allow me to edit street addresses, etc.
stored in Active Directory?

Thanks!

Jeff
 
AD comes with many tools that can do this; dsa.msc, adsiedit.msc, ldp.exe,
ldifde.exe the list is pretty long. If you can firm up your requirements a
bit more maybe I could make a better suggestion.
 
Hello Jeff,

Good to hear from you.

I understand that you want to edit AD address information. We can manually
edit the information in the Active Directory Users and Computers.

I assume that you want to edit the information on a large scale, is this
the case? If so, I suggest that we use ldifde to export the information you
want and then import the data to AD.

Please refer to the following article for detailed information.

If this is not the case, please give more information about your goal.

In addition, the tools Simon mentioned are often used to edit AD
information. It would be best if you can take your time and have a look at
them. Thanks, Simon, for your inputs.

Hope this helps. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to get
in touch!


Best regards,

Jeff,

The easiest way would be to use ADModify. LDIFDE is a really great tool but
it requires a lot of work to get the DN of each and every user account
object that you want to modify....well, not really a lot of work, but a few
extra steps. You would then need to add lines to that DN: line ( the
changeType: modify and such ). Do a google for ADModify. There are two
versions: ver 1.6h ( IIRC ) and ADModify.net. You will probably want to go
with the .net version.....

Assuming that you want them all to have the same address ADModify would be
your friend here. That is, assuming that you can not script. ADSI would do
the trick nicely as well....
