AD attribute

I need to add the department field under the organization for all users based
on their department group membership. What utility can be used to extract
the information from department group, then that information will be used to
populate the department field hopefully via script. WE have over 1000 users,
so need a quick fix. Thanks.

Hi,

You might find my Bulk Modify app useful:

http://www.wisesoft.co.uk/Products/PasswordControl/BulkModify/Default.aspx

Query for all users in your department group, then update the department
attribute as required.

It's a freeware app. :-)

Hope this helps,

David
