ADManager Plus provides the ability to modify the users by just importing from a CSV file. To perform this operation follow the steps below:
Select the AD Mgmt tab.
Click the Modify users link under CSV import.
Import the CSV file and click OK. Sample CSV file.
This will list all users and their attributes.
Click update to update the information in Active directory.
Know these Tabs:
Change Headers: Clicking on this will allow you to change the attributes (eg.given name to sn); then save.
A pop-up displays all the LDAP Attributes provided in your CSV. You can specifically select the attributes to be modified on the active directory by placing a checkmark against the attributes on display and clicking on "OK" button.
By further clicking on the "Show search" link the display screen expands to provide a Match Criteria for users in AD in-order to be updated.
To have Useraccountcontrol attribute
in CSV : While modifying users using CSV, if you want to turn-on/remove a particular accounts flag then give the input value for that flag (useraccountcontrol) as a semicolon separated value.
The syntax is as follows:"value1;value2"
where,
value 1 = Value of the flag to be turned on from off
value 2 = Value of the flag to be turned off from on.

To have memberOf attribute in CSV : A user can be a member of more than one group, to support multiple values Distinguished Name (DN) of the groups should be separated by semicolon (;). Example:"CN=Group1,CN=Users,DC=domain,DC=com;CN=Group2,CN=Users,DC=domain,DC=com"
Match Criteria for users in AD:
Using this option users can be matched uniquely in AD by selecting one or more LDAP attributes, placing a check mark against them, which helps in identifying specific users to be modified.
Eg:-
Take for example you have two users with the name "John Smith" in your office and you want to update one of them. This option helps to identify him uniquely by providing one or more LDAP attributes which are specific to that user.
