Posts 1 		When performing an update from a CSV file, I can only find options to anchor the users based on a single value (sn; givenname; etc). Is there a way to anchor the users to two different attributes? We're trying to test some attribute modifications in a domain with ~18,000 users and naturally there are multiple identical first and last names (but very few that match both). Due to poor design in our HR export, we don't have any other defining fields that can be used.

Also, is there a way to push a CSV update that only applies to a single OU? This would take a bit more time (going 1 OU at a time) but should still be effective.

Posts 331 		BulkADUsers can only be used with a single "anchor" attribute. Support for multiple attributes would be a useful feature to be added to future versions, but for now it only supports 1 attribute. I suppose you could update another attribute to be a combination of firstname and surname and use that as the anchor attribute - It's not ideal, but it could work. Also, I wrote a script that allows you to update user accounts via CSV. This also expects a single "anchor" attribute, but you could modify the script to update users based on firstname/surname lookup:

Hope this helps,
