Modifying Users in a Domain with Download Users/Settings
An alternative to using the list commands is to use the Download Users/Settings.
To modify all users in a domain, download the list of all users and craft it into a
batch file using the modifyuser batch command.
1. Open the Administration Console and select the Orgs and Users tab.
2. Click the Users link and select your Account org from the Choose Org pull-
down list.
3. Type in the “%” character and then the domain name in the Find User field
and click Search.
[This performs a search across all of your organizations for user addresses
using that domain, returning the first 15,000 users.]
4. Click Download Users/Settings.
5. Select and copy all of the lines that have email addresses on them.
6. Open a text editor (if using Microsoft Notepad, turn word-wrap off) and paste
the text. Save the file using the file extension “.csv”.
7. Start Excel or any other spreadsheet application, and open the .csv file
saved in step 6.
a. Delete all columns except the one containing the email addresses.
b. Add a column to the left of the addresses column.
c. Fill that column with the word: modifyuser
d. In as many columns as necessary to the right of the addresses column,
type in
field-value
pairs.
e. Save the file again as a .csv file.
Note: Click the Users link on the Orgs and Users > Batch page for a link to
user field and value information.
8. Load the file into a text editor.
Replace all occurrences of “modifyuser,” with “modifyuser “ to remove the
comma and add a space. Save the result as a .txt file.
