Active Directory - Bulk Company Update

  • 772

I was wondering if there is a way to update the 'Company' field for a large group of users within Active Directory? I would like to match all users with a company ending in a certain string.

It would take way too long to change this for each user individually.

active-directory user-management dsquery

  1. Best Answer
    dsquery user -name * -limit 0 | dsmod user -company "%COMPANY%"

    Adjust the dsquery to target specific users as required.

    Edit: To match on a specific [sub-]string

    dsquery * -filter "&((objectCategory=Person)(objectClass=User)(company=*OLDCOMPANY))" -limit 0 | dsmod user -company "%NEWCOMPANY%"

    Adjust the *OLDCOMPANY regex to suit your needs.

  2. Write a powershell script to change it for all users where the company = the old company name to the new company name.
