ADMODIFY, as Mark (the other) suggested would work well as would scripts. You can google for a web site of scripts to do what you want. Countless examples on how to do that if you're comfortable. Mark's suggestion for ADMODIFY is a great tool if you want something GUI.

Csvde -f sample.csv -d DC=com, DC=mydomain, OU=Users -r (L=location) -p displayname Change all the entries through excel Save as csv file again Ldifde -I sample.csv -d DC=com, DC=mydomain, OU=Users -r(L=Location) -p displayname Change the L=Location to the correct attribute that you want to change. Change -d to whatever the DN is that you are querying. Might be worth putting a -v in there too so you can see what is happening in verbose mode. My suggestion would be to try this out in a lab to be confident on what you are doing as this could destroy your domain and leave with you more than just a small headache. I accept no responsibility whatsoever for any mistakes made.
