How can I change ONLY the servername in the home folder path in AD?
Is there a script that can change ONLY the servername in the home
folder path in AD? User accounts are not located in a single OU. We migrated to a new file server. The domain controllers are Windows 2003. Old home folder path: \\old-server\share\username New home folder path: \\new-server\share\username Thank you. |

Hello,
Admodify would do the trick. Can' t you just rebuild the whole string ? -- Cordialement, Mathieu CHATEAU http://lordoftheping.blogspot.com <edsonk@sbcglobal.net> wrote in message news:1189454053.480372.7490@r34g2000hsd.googlegrou ps.com... > Is there a script that can change ONLY the servername in the home > folder path in AD?

I would assume a new home folder would be created with their new username. |

Re: How can I change ONLY the servername in the home folder path in AD?
Indeed,
but that is a cleaning part, which should have done while renaming the account login. You wouldn't like to live with that for always...A good reason for cleaning ! Else, you can make a vbscript that will change the substring, but it's a workaround for me, not the good way -- Cordialement, Mathieu CHATEAU http://lordoftheping.blogspot.com <edsonk@sbcglobal.net> wrote in message news:1189528959.925949.197230@o80g2000hse.googlegr oups.com... > On Sep 10, 1:31 pm, "Mathieu CHATEAU" <gollum...@free.fr> wrote: >> Hello, >> >> Admodify would do the trick.

Re: How can I change ONLY the servername in the home folder path in AD?
Hi
IIRC: You can select all users at once and change the path to: \\newservername\share\%username% use the variable %username% Test it first. -- I hope that the information above helps you. Have a Nice day.
