Using DSMOD to remove email

I need to clear the values from the email field of all our AD users.
However, when I try the following command:

DSMOD USER
"CN=username,OU=users,OU=ourOU,DC=accounts,DC=company,DC=com" -EMAIL ""

I get a dsmod.exe application error the instruction at oxo1oo4ff5 referenced
memory at 0x00000004. The memory could not be written.

Leaving off the double quotes after -EMAIL I get "no value specified for
email", any other value after -EMAIL sets the email field to that value.

Any ideas how to clear the email field?

Thanks,
Lee
 
Think I just figured this out myself - did a Google on the error message and
found another comment that this could be a client-related issue. Ran the
same DSMOD command from another computer and it worked fine.

Any ideas what sort of "client issue" could cause this to happen? Or, how
to fix it?

Thanks again
