is there a way to change more than one users logon hour setting at a time?
like perhaps through a group policy or some such?

i have about 300 users that i have to enable for 24 hours a day for testing
new software, then to change back to regular work hour schedule afterwards,
and it would be a REAL pain if i had to change them all one at a time.

thanks for any input!

There is a tool called ADModify that will allow you to modify multiple
record attributes simultaneously. You can download from ftp.microsoft.com.
specifically:
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/PSS/Tools/Exchange%20Support%20Tools/ADModify/

ahhh, that ADModify program is great, but my servers are Windows 2000 and do
not support changing the logonhours field through it (or even through
ADSIedit). but through adding ADModify to the keywords in google search i
was able to find a VBS script that can change entire OUs of user logonhours
field in one run. so nice!

here's the link in case anyone is interested:

it seems to be a college course website... which to me is somehow funny and
beautiful at the same time. thanks for the help again Ace, couldn't have
done it without you!

No problem for the help. And thanks for posting that script site. Looks like
