What is the difference between ADtoolkit Common Properties and AD Attributes?
Common Properties are named by Javelina Software and are comprised of some of the more common AD attributes as well as several properties that cannot be modified directly by changing an AD attribute. AD Attributes, on the other hand, are the actual LDAP attribute names used internally by Active Directory.
I am attempting to import a CSV file into the Modify Users tool and receive the message: Error: The Distinguished Name field in record #1 was empty.
Check the file you’re using to import. To import into the Modify Users tool, you must create a comma separated value (CSV) file, which, at a minimum, must contain the distinguished names of the users to be imported. The CSV file is simply a text file, where the first line of the file contains a comma separated list of field names, and each subsequent line is a record containing the fields specified in the first line.
A sample CSV file would look like:
Distinguished Name, Home Phone, Business Phone
‘CN=Joe Doe,OU=Users,DC=MyDomain,DC=com’, 410-555-1212, 410-555-1213
‘CN=Jane Doe,OU=Users,DC=MyDomain,DC=com’, 410-555-1214, 410-555-1215
Note: As of version 6.0, ADtoolkit no longer requires import files to contain a line at the top with field names. Fields are now resolved during the import process.
