Language=English
Description:  This tool's commands modify existing objects in the directory. The dsmod commands:

dsmod computer - modifies an existing computer in the directory.
dsmod contact - modifies an existing contact in the directory.
dsmod group - modifies an existing group in the directory.
dsmod ou - modifies an existing organizational unit in the directory.
dsmod server - modifies an existing domain controller in the directory.
dsmod user - modifies an existing user in the directory.

For help on a specific command, type "dsmod <ObjectType> /?" where <ObjectType> is
one of the supported object types shown above. For example, dsmod ou /?.

Remarks:
The dsmod commands support piping of input to allow you to pipe results from the dsquery commands as input to the dsmod commands and modify the objects found by the dsquery commands.

Examples:
To find all users in the organizational unit (OU) "ou=Marketing,dc=microsoft,dc=com"
and add them to the Marketing Staff group:

dsquery user �startnode "ou=Marketing,dc=microsoft,dc=com" | 
dsmod group "cn=Marketing Staff,ou=Marketing,dc=microsoft,dc=com" -addmbr

Directory Service command-line tools help:
dsadd /? - help for adding objects.
dsget /? - help for displaying objects.
dsmod /? - help for modifying objects.
dsmove /? - help for moving objects.
dsquery /? - help for finding objects matching search criteria.
dsrm /? - help for deleting objects.

                        -d <Domain> connects to a DC in domain <Domain>.

                        on first error.
-q                      Quiet mode: suppress all output to standard output.


Remarks:
If a value that you supply contains spaces, use quotation marks 
around the text (for example, "CN=John Smith,CN=Users,DC=microsoft,DC=com").
If you enter multiple values, the values must be separated by spaces
(for example, a list of distinguished names). 

The special token $username$ (case insensitive) may be used to place the SAM account name in the value of a parameter. For example, if the target user DN is CN=Jane Doe,CN=users,CN=microsoft,CN=com and the SAM account name attribute is "janed," the -hmdir parameter can have the following substitution:

-hmdir \users\$username$\home

The value of the -hmdir parameter is modified to the following value:

- hmdir \users\janed\home

Examples:
To reset a user's password:

    dsmod user "CN=John Doe,CN=Users,DC=microsoft,DC=com"
    -pwd A1b2C3d4 -mustchpwd yes

To reset multiple user passwords to a common password
and force them to change their passwords the next time they logon:

    dsmod user "CN=John Doe,CN=Users,DC=microsoft,DC=com" "CN=Jane Doe,CN=Users,DC=microsoft,DC=com" -pwd A1b2C3d4 -mustchpwd yes

To disable multiple user accounts at the same time:

    dsmod user "CN=John Doe,CN=Users,DC=microsoft,DC=com" "CN=Jane Doe,CN=Users,DC=microsoft,DC=com" -disabled yes

To modify the profile path of multiple users to a common path using the $username$ token:

dsmod user "CN=John Doe,CN=Users,DC=microsoft,DC=com" "CN=Jane Doe,CN=Users,DC=microsoft,DC=com" -profile \users\$username$\profile

{-addmbr | -rmmbr | -chmbr}
                        -addmbr adds members to the group.
                        -rmmbr removes members from the group.
                        -chmbr changes (replaces) the complete list of

If a value that you supply contains spaces, use quotation marks 
around the text (for example, "CN=USA Sales,OU=Distribution Lists,DC=microsoft,DC=com").
If you enter multiple values, the values must be separated by spaces
(for example, a list of distinguished names). 

Examples:
To convert the group type of several groups from "security" to "non-security":
