How it works

Three of the jobs this gets used for, and the screen each one runs on.

  1. 01

    Bulk attribute updates

    Change department, job title, email, address and contact fields across hundreds of accounts at once. Select the users in the console or import the list from a CSV, then apply the change once instead of opening each account in ADUC.

  2. 02

    Bulk proxyAddress updater

    The proxyAddresses attribute holds every email alias an account answers to, and it is one of the fields most likely to be wrong after a domain change, a rebrand or a migration. Add, update or remove proxy addresses across many accounts from one CSV, instead of editing the attribute account by account in ADUC or ADSI Edit.

  3. 03

    Bulk user actions

    Run the one-off account actions across a selection instead of one at a time. Delete, disable, enable, set an expiration date or move to another OU. Pick the users in the console or import a list from CSV, choose the action, and apply it in a single pass.
