Hi,



I have been given a list of 200 users to
disable, and move to another OU.

The users are not currently in the same OU
but in many different OU.



I am trying to use the txt file that
contains the list of users to be disable.



How can I do this?





I was trying to use the query tool that
comes with AD users and computer to select the users but got nowhere with



(&(&(&(|(&(objectCategory=person)(objectSid=*)(!samAccountType:1.2.840.113556.1.4.804:=3))(&(objectCategory=person)(!objectSid=*))(&(objectCategory=group)(groupType:1.2.840.113556.1.4.804:=14))))(objectCategory=user)(cn=user1)))

(&(&(&(|(&(objectCategory=person)(objectSid=*)(!samAccountType:1.2.840.113556.1.4.804:=3))(&(objectCategory=person)(!objectSid=*))(&(objectCategory=group)(groupType:1.2.840.113556.1.4.804:=14))))(objectCategory=user)(cn=user2)))

etc





Thanks

What if you modify (cn=user1)
with (anr=user1)

You have a list to use as input file. Read from that list and get the DN of each user. Then pass the DN to the script listed in this sample: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/scripts/default.mspx?mfr=true

Or

In a batch file, do a For loop and read in the input file, then use dsquery to get the DN and pass that to dsmod to disable the accounts

Something like:
FOR /F %%i IN (mylistofnames.txt) DO dsquery user forestroot -scope subtree -o dn|dsmod user -disabled Yes

where OU=NEWDEST,DC=FQDN is the FQDN of the new OU you want to move to.please note your list of names must be unique. Test before doing this by ensuring the command below
FOR /F %i IN (mylistofnames.txt) DO dsquery user forestroot -scope subtree -name %i -o dn >> textfilename.txtgives you a list of DNs you really want to disable/move. Please check syntax and test before doing for real on production servers!

You may want to take a look at ADmodify.net

http://www.gotdotnet.com/workspaces/workspace.aspx?id=f5cbbfa9-e46b-4a7a-8ed8-3e44523f32e2



Nice tools for batch AD modifs.

might take a bit of tweaking, but a
simple solution might be this vbs code...

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set rootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://RootDSE")
domainContainer = rootDSE.Get("defaultNamingContext")
Set conn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Provider = "ADSDSOObject"
conn.Open "ADs Provider"
Const ADS_UF_ACCOUNTDISABLE = 2
' location of userlist
TheFilePath="c:\file.txt"
set objFS=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set FileObj = objFS.OpenTextFile(ThefilePath,1,false)
Do Until FileObj.AtEndOfStream
struser
= FileObj.Readline
LDAPStr
= ";
_
(&(objectClass=User)(objectCategory=Person)(anr="
& struser & "))" & _
";distinguishedName;subtree"
'msgbox
LDAPStr
set
rs = conn.Execute(LDAPStr)
If
rs.RecordCount > 0 Then
rs.MoveFirst
do
until rs.EOF

Set objUser = GetObject ("LDAP://"
& rs.fields("distinguishedName"))

intUAC = objUser.Get("userAccountControl")
'disable the account

objUser.Put "userAccountControl",
intUAC OR ADS_UF_ACCOUNTDISABLE

objUser.SetInfo
' change the OU info here to move the
account

Set objOU = GetObject("LDAP://ou=sales,dc=na,dc=fabrikam,dc=com")

objOU.MoveHere _

"LDAP://" & rs.fields("distinguishedName"),
vbNullString
rs.movenext
loop
end
if
loop
FileObj.close
conn.close
msgbox "done"
