VB script

[Burnsy2023]

Guys, I need help with a VB script in AD, I need it to be able to change the path of the home directory within the user profile. I need to change the server name but not the share name, so \\tango\share1$ will become \\alpha\share1$.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Burnsy

Edit: the script needs to only target one AD OU and all the users in that OU

Dont know the answer to your question, however I was sent to this site which has loads of really useful scripts and examples, some may even do what you need.

Good site, but I already looked on there for similar scripts

Can't you just select all the users in that OU and then change the home directory from properties?

No, because all profiles have different sharenames on the server.

Found this on the MS site:

Set objUser = GetObject _
    ("LDAP://cn=MyerKen,ou=Management,dc=NA,dc=fabrikam,dc=com")
 
strCurrentProfilePath = objUser.Get("profilePath")
intStringLen = Len(strCurrentProfilePath)
intStringRemains = intStringLen - 11
strRemains = Mid(strCurrentProfilePath, 12, intStringRemains)
strNewProfilePath = "\\fabrikam" & strRemains
objUser.Put "profilePath", strNewProfilePath
objUser.SetInfo

That should do fine, just needs tweaking.

Sure thing. Microsoft Script Repositry, 'tis the way forward. Link

Drill down to:
Script Repository > Active Directory > User Accounts > Configuring User Accounts
