I generate mine randomly. F1 = "CN=" & D1 & ",OU=2010,OU=HS Students,OU=Students,DC=local,DC=okoboji,DC=k12,DC=ia,DC=us -pwd " & E1 & " -canchpwd no -pwdneverexpires yes" Then I select column F and copy and paste into a bat file. It should be pretty easy for you to modify for your uses. I use a similar method to create all the new users for the year.

I would like to be able to just reset them to their first name or username. I think I could take this one and rewrite it a little bit but any other help would be appreciated.

If you mean groups of people, you can just write a .bat file like this. One line for each user. There are more options but these are the ones I use. Dsmod user "CN=10AlKreb,OU=2010,OU=HS Students,OU=Students,DC=local,DC=okoboji,DC=k12,DC=ia,DC=us" -pwd XXXXXXXX -canchpwd no -pwdneverexpires yes This is what I do every year for new student passwords.

Instead of having to go through each individual student and teacher. Thanks Mitch
