Yes. But the answer depends on how you create new users. Do you use the MMC tools or do you custom create users? What's your comfort level with admin type scripting?

LDFIDE is a PITA that really should be a last resort unless you're just so bored that you need something to do. LDIFDE is so unforgiving it's barely worth the effort to work with IMHO. -ajm P.S. I'm just guessing, but you're not as likely to get help from Microsoft if you start by calling them 'Mother Microsoft' which may be taken as a derogatory statement. It's best to usually post with just the facts and leave the commentary out if you really want to get a useful response from the company you're talking about. They may not see the same sense of humor that you do. Just a piece of free advice; take it for what it's worth <g> -----Original Message----- From: Rafael Amorim [mailto:mondfinsternis@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2005 5:25 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Active Directory Import/Export http://www.MSExchange.org/ I'm changing everything... This is a Rule that we have to set on our AD and on the Exchange Global List.... I used the ADModify.NET to make a bulk change on what was possible (you know... a lot of mistakes had been made on the previous administration, like, wrong P.O Box number, etc... simple things but huge effects!). Now I tried the ldifde to creat a list of the objects on the AD and now I'm changin one by one on the txt file.... BORING.... I think that Mother Microsoft should do something about this amazing service that is the AD.... Does anyone knows here I can find something that I can change the logic that creates the Dysplay name??? Like... the default setting is <First Name><Initials><.><Last Name> TKS Friends!!! ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSEXchange.org Discussion List as: al.mulnick@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
