Building a Batch File
Batch files allow you to run several commands at once. Below are two examples.
The first example shows how to modify all users in a domain by using a listing
batch command. The second example shows how to use the Administration
Console Batch page and the Download Users/Settings page.
Modifying Users in a Domain Using a List Batch Command
To modify all users in a domain, download the list of all users and craft it into a
batch file using the listusers and modifyuser batch commands. If you want to
delete all the users in the domain, use the deleteuser command.
1. In the Administration Console, go to Orgs & Users > Batch to display the
Batch page.
2. Type this command in the command field to get a list of user addresses
associated with the domain you wish to modify.
