Planehazza Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Hi all, Got Dovestones Bulk AD Users working, but I cannot get the "Increment if another user exists with the same value" feature to work. We name our users based off of their initials (Adam Adamson is AA1), but they obviously need to be unique. So, if AA1 already exsits, and then Amy Adamson joins, how do I make the validation/import automatically give her AA2, (or even the next free account; AA3, AA4 etc.)? Thanks!
Davit2005 Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 I'd seriously give DoveStones a ring, the one thing we did find when we used it was good support even when we were trialing the product.

Planehazza Posted September 2, 2015 Author Posted September 2, 2015 Think we just emailed Support Ah got you. Already done that, cheers!
Planehazza Posted September 2, 2015 Author Posted September 2, 2015 Just an update... I've had a couple of replies from Steven at Dovestones and he has identified a bug that prevents the users from being created despite the increment options being applied. He has informed me that they will resolve it tonight or in the morning, and have an updated version of the software some time tomorrow. Cannot argue with that!
howartp Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Steven is great; he did something similar with the same app for us last year.
Davit2005 Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Steven is the one who we were in contact with a few years ago when we had issues with Exchange Mailbox creation and managed to sort them out. This is the type of support we can do with more of
Planehazza Posted September 4, 2015 Author Posted September 4, 2015 Thanks. Yes he's been phenomenally helpful. I have the test users importing but I cannot get the the UPN and CN to match the SAMAccountName. Does anyone have a powershell script that will scan a particular OU and change the CN and UPN of all users so that they match the accountname? As above, the correct name is AA14 (incremented to the next available name). I need the CN and UPN to match this. I think I have a script that might do it but I'm unsure what powershell variables are to talk to the AD fields. Any help is greatly appreciated!
