a_d_atkinson Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 I am by no means a technical expert on these things but currently students in our active directory are only referred to by user name (stu0XXXX). We've started using ABTutor which is brilliant but I have to request the kids name every time I use it to identify who is on what machine. I have full class lists in excel with usernames and they can happily be exported to a csv file. Is there a quick fix to amend the current users with Forename and Surname information? Cheers
jamesb Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 If the usernames are calculated from the actual names of the students then you could probably write a quick bit of VBScript to import their full names to their user accounts appropriately. Best place for any VB script stuff is here: Welcome to the Script Center Otherwise all I can think of is the long data entry method.
bmdixon Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Take a look at this. It allows you to see and modify user account details in bulk. You might have to manually copy/paste the details in but it should be easier than going into each account in AD....
lyndonw Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 I've used ADModify for something similar in the past. ADModify.NET - Home
