Stupid Powershell Tricks: Changing the Password of all User’s in an OU with AD Module for Powershell —
In my opinion MS makes 2 Good things, Active Directory, and Exchange, and I use both.
Recently I had a need to change passwords for alot of user’s in a certain organization, it didn’t matter what the password was, only that it needed to be different now.
So.. I opened up Active Directory Module for Windows Powershell, and I typed out this:
Let’s say my users are in this OU in AD.
domain.mycompany.com\Users\Company3
DSQuery user "OU=Company3, OU=Users, DC=domain, DC=mycompany, DC=com" -limit 0 | DSMOD user -pwd Password01$$
This would set the Passwords to Password01$$
Keep in mind it will change the password of every user in that OU.
