QUESTION POSED ON: 15 August 2006
Is there a command in Windows to assign UNIX attributes to Active Directory users? I need to have around 20,000 Active Directory users to have Unix attributes.

EXPERT RESPONSE

If you are running Windows Server 2003 R2 Active Directory, you may be able to use the built-in Identity Management for UNIX services to meet your needs; see this link from Microsoft for more information. If you haven't made the move to R2 yet, consider Services For Unix 3.5, a free download from the Microsoft website.
