Rename 500 user accounts

[Guest Close Guest]

Hi
Is there a quick way to rename 500 user accounts at the same time. I need to make the displayname become the directoryname.

Thanks
Anders

Just a helpfull tip here.
The directory name should be treated as the pre2K name (unique logon id). Users don't use directory names like they do display names. Also, you can not have multiple directory names in the same OU. This is why I suggest making or leaveing their directory name the same as the pre2K name (unique logon id). No chance for duplication.

See if http://www.joeware.net/ has something to rename from a command line. A script can do this too.

Thanks for your replies.
I fixed it with a tool in hyena along with the dsmove command.
