How to Remove or Replace or Add a Entry in a Attribute in Bulk using ADmodify Tool

Lets say I want to Clear or modify or set a attribute in Active Directory for more objects in Bulk

 

ADModify is the best tool to do it , I would say

 

Let us see how to Add a Entry in a attribute

For Example – I may have to set or clear the value of this attribute “msExchQueryBaseDN” in Exchange 2010

Clearing for some users might be simple to do it , But in Bulk Admodify is one of the best tool to do it

You can choose any tab and Customize in Bulk

In our Case its – attribute “msExchQueryBaseDN”

Choose “Custom” tab

 

5 Tasks

————-

1. Have Checked “Make a customized attribute modification”

2. Entered the attribute Name – Where I need to modify

3. Attribute Value

4. Check “MultiValued Append”

— Why yo Choose “MultiValued Append”

If there is Entry already available – Where some attributes have multiple entries – It does not going to remove the Existing ones.

Instead adds an Extra entry to the same attribute

— Check or Uncheck – Depends on your situation –

By default you can check it Cause it won’t bring you harm if you happen to edit a attribute which has multiple values

5. Choose Go

It will add the Entries on all the Chosen objects

  1. Hi Satheshwaran,

    Thanks for the guide. May I ask for your help as to what command should I use for the Custom LDAP Query if I would like to set the attribute msExchRecipientTypeDetails to value “16”.
    The environment has the mixture of Ex2003, 2007 and 2010. There are about 500 “room” mailboxes (Exchange 2003) that I want to migrate them to Exchange 2010.

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Thanks,
