Move user from one OU to another

How do I move a user from one OU to another in Active Directory

Moving a user is just a rename operation.
In LDAP terminology it is a modification of the relative distinguished name; mod_rdn.
Assuming you have all the other JNDI stuff working, the following snippet is all you need:String oldUserName = "CN=Albert Einstein,OU=Research,DC=antipodes,DC=com";
String newUserName = "CN=Albert Einstein,OU=Sales,DC=antipodes,DC=com";
ctx.rename(oldUserName,newUserName);Good luck

  • Bulk move users from one group to another in XI 3.1

    Hi all,
    I have a group that contains approximately 20,000 users. I now need to move around 7,500 of these users into a different group.
    How can I do this programatically in bulk as I don't want to go through and manually change the groups of 7,500 users?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hi Christian,
    Assuming you would need to move users from one group to another and remove them from the previous group, you could use the attached java code.
    To run the code, you would need to save it as .jsp file and paste it inside AdminTools application context.
    The pre-requisite to run this code is to create a Text file with all the 7500 user names in it. The text file should contain one user per line
    (example:
    User1
    User2
    User3
    You can get this information from query builder by running the below query
    Select top 20000 si_name from ci_systemobjects where si_kind='user'
    Initially do it for 2-3 users to text the results.
    You would need to edit the jsp and modify these three lines
    1.
                    * Assign user to a group
                   //Query for the group ID
                   boQuery = "Select SI_ID From CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS Where SI_KIND='UserGroup' And SI_Name='UserGroup name'";
    Above in SI_NAME, you would need to provide the usergroup name you want your users to be added to.
    2.
    if (boUserInfoObject.getGroups().remove(Group Id from which it has to be removed)) {
                            out.print("User removed from group successfully. ");
    Above you would need to provide the id of the group you want the users to be removed from(i.e the current group from where you want them to be moved).
    3.
    * Path to file containing User names.
    final String USER_FILE_PATH = "<Path of txt file from which list of users will be imported>";
    Above you need to specify the path of the text file which contains all the user names.
    Incase you require further assistance on SDKs, raise your concerns in the below space

  • How do you safely and quickly move users from one mailstore to another?

    In our current NMS configuration we have our clients spread across 4 mailstores (mstore0-mstore3). The current stores are filling up and we need to move some clients from each existing store to a new one (mstore4). MoveUser will move the users but seems very slow given the number of clients and messages will have to move. Is there any better method and as important has anyone else done anything similar and would share experiences?

    Hi,
    MoveUser is the safe and better way for moving the user.
    Please mention from which version you are migrating users from different store.
    hope the following link will help you

  • Moving users from One Group to another

    Hi Guys,
    I am looking for a script which will allow me to move users from One ADGroup to another ADGroup. I have checked ther scripts which are currently present. However, none of them if fixing my issue.
    Details:
    I have Different locations and users moves from one location to another location and same thing happens as they gets moved from one Tower to another Tower (Like From TOWER A to Tower B). Also users gets promoted and most of the time they are in bulk.We also
    have 2 domains one is parent and another is child domain.
    So, I hope above information is making sense and also I Completely new to PS so after going to lot of scripts i asking for help on this. I hope I can gets this sorted out as soon as possible as my work is piling up.

    You are asking a lot of questions about AD.  Do you know how to do this in AD with D tools?
    There is no magic way to guess at what you need. I recommend that you start by learning AD and PowerShell.  There are good resources here:

  • Trying to move a users from one database to another gives error

    When I try moving a user from one database to another I get an error, but one some PC's installed with EMC, gives no problems. So what could the the issue here, I tried googling, but came out without any solution. Exchange 2010 sp3, EMC on Windows 7 pc.
    The error message is:
    The move request for user is invalid. The user's Active Directory identity doesn't match the mailbox identity in the
    move request. It was running command "Get-MoveRequestStatistics -identity.....

    Is this 1 specific mailbox or any mailbox? Things to consider:
    Make sure that your Exchange management tools are running the same build as your Exchange server (2010 SP3 RUx). 
    Try using the Exchange Management Shell and typing Set-ADServerSettings -ViewEntireForest $True
    You might need to use the RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR when open Exchange tools
    Try running Clean-MailboxDatabase against each DB -

  • Move files from one folder to another

    I am brand new to the application and have spent a ton of time googling various topics, but need some additional help. Seems easy enough, but I can't figure out how to do it...
    I would like to move pics from one folder to another. I can drag files from one folder to another, but they still reside in the original folder as well. Is there a way to cut and paste or a similar function to accomplish this move?
    Thanks.

    Hey, HawaiianHaole, as a multidecade Mac user, let me tell you, Aperture is about the worst example of Mac-iness one could imagine. Ironic, as it's (of course) made by Apple. But it is so inflexible, and insists so vociferously on making the user learn its peculiar interface conventions it reminds me most of something out of that famous company in Redmond.
    Want your Projects in an order you choose? Sorry! Want to arrange your windows so you can see your list of chat buddies while you're working in Aperture? Nope, can't do it! Aging eyes have trouble reading tiny grey type on a grey background? Hey buddy, it was your choice to grow old, don't blame us!
    But all is not lost. Aperture has gotten considerably better of late (versions up to 2.0 were fundamentally unusable in many ways) and will hopefully continue to improve. (ie Maybe they'll fix the printing thing...)
    Please don't make Aperture the basis for your judgement of the Mac OS. Many long time Mac users are having as much trouble with Aperture as you. Mac OSX has significantly reduced customizability but at the benefit of much improved stability and indeed usability. Old school Mac users had to learn to accept this, which most did. You'll hear people talk about the "Way of the Steve". As irksome as Aperture can be, you'll actually have a better time of it if you adopt the Way of the Steve, and accept that you can't do things the way you might want to. This is imho antithetical to the original Mac many of us knew and loved, but it's the way things are today, so we mostly shut up and take it. You can fight with your software all day, or just accept that there are ways you have to adopt and adapt to them.
    Welcome to the Bright Side, hope your Mac experience improves.

  • I want to move ebooks from one computer to another.

    I want to move ebooks from one computer to another.  Both have Digital Editions installed.  Older one 2.0 ver has books installed.  Newer one has ver 3.0 no books installed.  Both are authorized with the same user id.  Do I have to upload from older machine to cloud first?  How do I do that?  Do I have to manually transfer files?  How do I do that?  Can I get pointed to online directions someplace?

    Figured it out.  Copy files to new computer and add to library from digital additions.  duh.  Why was it some much easier to figure out answer once I posted the question?

  • Moving Users from one server to another

    Is it possible to move my network users from one Xserve to another? I know this used to be possible to do with NetInfo, but I haven't heard of anything like this using Ldap.

    I used Open Directory Archive/Restore in Server Admin to carry over my ldap users through a reinstall. Their UIDs, groups, passwords, etc. all came across. The home directories were on a different volume and everything basically worked after the reinstall.

  • Ssis - move files from one directory to another and rename destination file if present

    Hello,
    How is it possible to move files from one directory to another directory and if the file already exists in destination directory then rename it?
    Thanks

    1. Use a foreach loop with file enumerator pointing to first directory.
    Inside loop have a ssis variable of type string to get filename (@[User::FileName])
    Choose option as Fully Qualified in loop
    2. Add another variable called @[User::DestFileName], set EvaluateAsExpression true for it and set expression like this
    REPLACE(@[User::FileName],<source directory path>,<destination directory path>)
    put actual paths in above expression in your case
    and another variable called @[User::RenameFileName], set EvaluateAsExpression true for it and set expression like this
    REPLACE(@[User::FileName],".","_old.")
    3. Create a boolean variable say @[User::FileEXists]
    4. Add a Script Task inside the loop and pass @DestFileName variable in ReadOnly mode and FileExists in ReadWrite mode
    Inside Script Task write code as per below
    http://blog.dbandbi.com/2013/11/13/check-file-exists-ssis/
    5. Add File System Task choose operation as Rename File, Select IsSourcePathVariable as true and select @[user::DestFileName] variable and IsDestinationPath variable as true and select @[user::RenameFileName] variable
    6. Choose ExpressionAndConstraint option for precedeence constraint from ScriptTask to above File System Task and choose constraint as OnSuccess and expression as
    @FileExists == True
    7. Add another File System task with operation as Move File Select IsSourcePathVariable as true and select @[user::FileName] variable and IsDestinationPath variable as true and select @[user::DestFileName] variable. Join Script Task as well as
    File System Task above to this task and choose constraint as OnSuccess and Multiple Constraint option as Or (dotted line)
    Then once executed it will work as per your requirement

    Basically, no; only the iTunes Store staff can do this, and then only by putting the balance from a completely unspent gift card back onto the card.
