I work in a large organisation with over 1200 people using the machines day to day. At the moment the system is set up to give each user a full roaming profile. Not only is this useing up a lot of server space, but it is also making login times extreemly long.

I've setup a mandatory profile on the server and tested it with various users and it works. We are now ready to put all our users onto this profile. The only way I can see of doing it is to manually edit the account details for each user individually! Is there a way of applying this change globally to every user in one go???

Many thanks.

Mike.

Have you tried a GPO?

yes there is, command line:P imagine this, i have a user that name kevin mitnick and i want to change is password, i need to type the dsget info to get the information and the output the information to another command to change the info, so the syntax will be: dsget user "cn=kmitnick,ou=helpdesk,dc=networking,dc=com" -pwd password. ok? if want to change the group membership type the dsget and the dsmod to modify and the new object for the membership, you need to well know the design of the active directory, i´ll advice you to learn these command lines and to create it in a batch file, but.......... easier:P select the users......... and go to their properties and the to the profile:P it will applies to everyone:P
