I work in an organization with 11 domains in one forest (yes, 11). I often need to make changes across all of the domains. I would love to be able to query the global catalog instead of one domain only.

It should be a relatively easy change. I've done some AD programming myself. It's mostly just a matter of searching using "GC://[servername]/" (you'll have to add code to find a GC) rather than "LDAP://". Any updates though, will still have to use LDAP. If you want help with this I'm sure I can send you what I've done in this regard.

I would also love to be able to use a list of email addresses to get all the users. You could even have the user specify which property they'd like to match the users against in the 'Get users from list' window.

Thanks for this though. I used to write a custom script every time I had a bulk update to do. This program has saved me so much time.

Thanks for your suggestions - I'll keep them in mind for future releases of the application.

The from list change is probably an easy feature to add. Adding support for GC searching is likely to impact a larger part of the application - I'll look into it though.
