Partial change of Display Name

Hi folks

I need to to a partial change of the display name of users in a number of
OUs. The users currently have a display name of "Year 11 - Bloggs, Joe".
They need to be changed to "Year 12 - Bloggs, Joe".

I exported the users to a text file and could do a quick find & replace to
update all the records, but I'm not quite certain how I can then import the
records to overwrite the current data.

If there's a way of renaming the field, I'd be keen to do it that way.

Cheers

Chris

Hi Jerry

Mate, this looks the goods. I've downloaded the program. Looking at the
script you have written (I'm still a bit of a newb) I take it Adfind needs to
in the same folder as the script (or is it just a .bat) and it will run.
