Hi All,
Does anyone know of a tool that will move thousands of users from one Active
Directory group to another?

you could also use DSGET in combination with DSMOD

Richard, FWIW, I've used LDIFDE and CSVDE to pump in over 4000 accounts
without problems. However, the most I've tested with using a VB test script
is 1000 users without problems, but never higher, so I can't comment on
that.

I have a program which can copy all members of one group to another.
