Step 1: Generate CSV File

Click the CSV Template button to download the provided CSV template.

You can rename the template and save it anywhere you like.

Step 2. Modify CSV Template

The provided template includes an example user as a reference on how to fill out the CSV template.

Tip: See the CSV Template CheetSheet section if you are not familiar with Active Directory Attributes.

Now fill in the CSV with the user accounts and details you want to update. Just fill out the columns that you want to update, the rest can be left blank. You do not need to remove columns that are not used.

You must enter the user’s sAMAccountName into column A. You can use the bulk export tool to export this for all accounts or from an OU.

For this example, I’m going to update several user’s displayname, Office, department, and street addresses. Here is a screenshot of my CSV.

Again if any of these attributes have data the tool will update it, if blank it will add it.

Step 3. Bulk Update Options

Choose bulk update options or leave them as default.

Note: Changes to user proxyAddresses will only occur if you add a value to the proxyaddresses column in the CSV. See the ProxyAddress section for more details.

Step 4: Run Bulk Updater

The last step is to select your template and click run.

The log section makes it easy to verify the update was successful for all accounts. Any errors will be flagged.

All done. Now go check one of the accounts in Active Directory.
