Scripting Active Directory attribute changes

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a tool, where I can read from a CSV or TXT list of user
objects, and then make changes to a particular attribute to all the listed
users. I was hoping that there may be a microsoft tool in one of the resource
kits that could accomplish this, however I have been unable to find one.
It can't be third party or anything that cost $$
I have been considering scripting something using VBscript, but would prefer
not to if possible.
If there are no tools, if anyone knows of any VBscript website where
possibly a script like this is already available or with sample code that can
point me in the right direction would be a great help.

Thanks everyone

I'm not sure I completely understand what you are trying to accomplish,
but if you are looking for a utility to process text files, you might
try GREP.  A Windows version is available at ... http://www.wingrep.com/

Hope that helps!

Bryan.

I'm looking for a way to search active directory for a particular user
attribute. Once a list is compiled of all the user objects that have this
particular attribute value, I  would like to be able to read from this list,
and modify certain attribute values of only the users on the list....
