add additional doamins / nicknames to sub-organisational units
Grant Joslin
My situation is, that I need to be able to download the users in OU's to be able to then add additional domains / nicknames to these users. Now I know I can just download all users, but how can I divide them up into the right OU's and then append the appropriate domain? I am talking about 150 OU's and about 70,000 users, so I am trying to find the most efficient way. I noticed that when I set a small bunch of groups, modified the settings, then added the group membership, that the script took a long time to complete.

you can then use this information to create the alias commands to update the users> filename.csv,
gam print users [firstname] [lastname] [username] [ou] [suspended] [changepassword] [agreed2terms] [admin] [aliases] [groups]
gam create alias <alias> user <user name>

Graham

No problem
That does make me think that, on the project web site, it would make sense to move some/all the CSV output commands to the "managing" section, so all user commands are together? Any thoughts Jay?
