Hello guys,

I am running slapd 2.3.30 and I need to bulk modify one LDAP attribute (sambaHomePath) for all of my users, like:

Current value = \oldserver\username

New value = \newserver\username

Can this be done? Basically I need a partial change of that attribute – "oldserver" which is variable, changed with "newserver" which is fixed.

Other than the fact that 2.3.30 is ancient and unsupported... You should be able to do this, yes. You could use a scripting module such as Net::LDAP in Perl. If it is possible to do a substring query on the attribute in question, you could use a filter of "(attr=*oldserver*)" to get a set of entries back, and then iterate over them and do the update in the script.
