change one attribute on 400 objects?

[penguinroundup]

I need to change the company name on all of my user accounts in AD (400+). Is there an easy way to do this, or am I stuck using CSVDE/ADSIedit (or doing it manually, yuck)?

I'm coming from SBS2003 with this but using ADUC I can select all of my user accounts (1 ou at a time) and right click > properties > organization tab. If you need to change the company name just check that field and type in the new name then apply

You can use vbscript to do it or download a copy of ADMODIFY.

The GotDotNet web site is beign phased out, so you can find a copy to download here:

I hope you find this post helpful.

You can also select many accounts, and right click and make the change. It will apply to all users who were selected.
