Testimonial:

I have barely scratched the surface of this tool, but it has saved me HOURS of work! Being at a college, we are CONSTANTLY adding new accounts and removing old ones to our network. I use this tool almost weekly to quickly perform this task. I also have library staff able to reset student passwords (a constant request!) with a form that I created easily with this tool. I plan on doing A LOT more with this easy to use application!

Environment

The environment involves a mid-size company with 1 central domain (mycompany.com), 1 central domain controller running Windows 2003 (DC01), 1 file server running Windows 2000 (FILESRV01) and one database server running SQL Server 2000. The domain currently hosts 500 users.

Problem

MyCompany management has decided to implement a new Human Resources application. This new application directly interfaces with the Active Directory to get its information. Therefore, management wants as much information in the Active Directory as possible. Based on the requirements of the new application, you decide that the phone and address information have to be added to 500 user accounts. You are given a list from the HR department, listing all firstnames, lastnames, phone and address information.

Solution Guide

Let's first discuss the logical steps needed to perform the update. First, we need to locate the user object by using the lastname or firstname. Then, we have to import the phone and address information into the Active Directory, thereby updating the user account.
