How can I edit Contacts instead of users? If bulkadusers can't do it do you have reccommendations?

Thank you,
Dano

I don't have any personal recommendations for any applications that do this. It would be possible to write a script to do this though. I also wrote a script for updating user accounts using a CSV file, which would be a good starting point.

http://www.wisesoft.co.uk/scripts/vbscript_update_user_attributes_from_csv.aspx

This should work with contacts if you change the filter from (objectClass=user) to (objectClass=contact):

getUserCmd.commandtext="<LDAP://" & objRoot.GET("defaultNamingContext") & ">;" & _
"(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=contact)(" & strSearchAttribute & "=" & strSearchValue & "));" & _
"adsPath;subtree"

In the setup section of the script you would also need to choose a search attribute that will be used to match rows in the CSV file to contacts in Active Directory. The rest of the script should work ok with contacts.

Hope this helps,

David

Posts 1 		I must say: great app!

The question regarding contacts most certainly interests me at this very moment. A client requests to manage his contacts himself, and the number is quiete big. Using this app in combination with AD delegation would be a possible solution to provide this client a way to manage his contacts himself using Excel!

Can you inform me whether this would be included in the next version or if I can manipulate source code somewhere to adapt the app to handle contacts i.o. user accounts?

Thanks very much in advance!

I'm planning to extend the scope of the application to include contacts and hopefully this feature will make it into the next release. At this point in time I don't have have a release date for the next version of the application though - It could be some time.
