Global User Amendements

[Guest]

In windows NT 4 using User Manager for domains you could
select a range of users and make a change once that would
then populate all the selected users, like "password never
expires" or the profile path etc.
In Windows 2000 this facility does not appear to exist,
and i have tried to run NT user manager for
domains "usrmgr.exe" but will not allow on 2000 Domain.
How can i make these sorts of global changes in 2000?

See tip 4972 in the 'Tips & Tricks' at http://www.jsiinc.com

For other fields, use the command line (see the net user parameters in tip 4646
or implement tip 2815)

You can also use the Directory Service Command-line tools, tip 6820 in the 'Tips
& Tricks' at http://www.jsiinc.com. Type DSMOD /?

.

In addition to what Jerold posted, take a look at a nice
utility that a couple of M$ guys wrote. It is
called 'ADModify' and does a whole bunch or really neat
stuff. I think that they have version 1.5 out now but
are qworking on version 2.0...

You can also use LDIFDE to do this. ADModify is a bit
quicker and easier but LDIFDE is also a valid option.

HTH,
