Exporting all user information To run CSVDE on a Windows Server running Active Directory, open the command prompt (go to Start. The basic export will dump all records from Active Directory into a CSV file without any filtering of results. By default CSVDE will bind to AD using the credentials of the users currently logged on-to specify different credentials use the -a flag (-a UserDN [Password *]).

Hello, I have been tasked with migrating users from 1 specific OU in domain ABC.local to a new domain XYV.us I have managed to migrate the below with LDIFDE/CSVDE (i used them both as i found they both had their strengths depending on what i wanted) 1)the OU, with child OU's under it 2)the Users in those OUs (they are disabled at the moment) 3)the Groups associated with those OU's 4)SOME of the group memberships. The point of this thread is to ask for assistance in getting the Group memberships completed/finished.

Some of the groups still have no members in the Target domain. When runnign LDIFDE on a specific group that i know has members in the Source Domain to import from my CSVDE file, i get errors stating that: the Entry already exists, entry skipped Ive been racking my brain over the last week trying to figure it out. Nothing seems to be working. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your time.

Hi 96Primera, To make life really really easy, why not use ADMT tool, It will take care of all membership,permissions, all objects, you dont need a script - all you need to do is migrate the users in Batches. You can also specify the OU on the source and target domain. I have not tried using a script for migrating users between domains - when i have the almighty ADMT tool.

Please have a look below and see if its something you like. If not let me know Regards, MassonTech ADMT is not something that i am able to use. (belive me i would have) the domains are separated a trust is not possible.

I was able to fix the issue i was having with the trust setup. We do not manage one of our data centers Firewall rules, had asked them to open it to any/any as we have a VPN between both locations. They stated that they had, but as it turns out they did not.

I managed to get ADMT to get this fully completed. Install xbmc on dune hd connect. This is all done now. Good day guys, I would like to know and confirm what is the required information when creating a Mailbox at Active Directory Users and Computers or simply on User Accounts on the domain controller it is the Display Name, User Name or Account Name(-samid)? This will be a great help when I export and import users using ldifde, csvde, dsadd, dsmove command for alternative way of restoring Users on Active Directory Users and Computers and Mailboxes on Exchange Server.

Is there any other alternative, suggestions, clarifications,related links, steps, recommendation it will be a greate help. Thanks in Advanced and Regards, Cheers. Hello, I have a domain e.g contosso.com and the users mail attribute has the value username@contosso.com. I need to replace the mail attribute of all the users to username.surname@cx.contosso.com.

I tried exporting the user information to a csv file. Once done, I used the givenname, sn and the new email domain i.e. @cx.contosso.com to edit the csv file and tried to import the same in the AD. I found that I cannot use Csvde to duplicate certain attributes if those attributes already exist in Active Directory. Looking for an alternative, as if I use ldifde I will have to do a lot of manual updates in the file which is almost equivalent to going to each user in the Active Directory and modifying the attribute manually. I have around 10,000 users and it will become hectic going this way.

Editing a csv file is much easy however it doesn't let me import. I also found that I can use logparser to convert the csv to ldif file. For that I need to create a template, the template should look something like this LPBODY dn:%FIELD_3% changetype: modify replace: description description:%FIELD_4% - /LPBODYI am trying to understand what the%FIELD_3% and%FIELD_4% is Please Suggest! Hi, I'm trying to import a list ofmachines froma CSV file into AD using CSVDE but getting an error every time I run it.
