Creating EVPM retention folders?

[VersEV1]

Does anyone have a good system for creating ini files to create EVPM folders? For example, say you get a list of 500 users that need retention folders but all you have is their first and last name.

It's a pain for format them into an LDAP query using name=, especailly if their name has changed or is not the same in AD.

Column mode or holding the alt key in Notepadd++ helps but it's still time comsuming to get the LDAP queries formatted.

So anybody have a good system for formatting ini files into LDAP queries, or even a good way to get other attributes such as CN, DN, email address or other AD attribute when you only have a first and last names?

first and last names aren't unique so no, not really. if whoever you're working with can provide you with a unique identifier then you can use that, otherwise you have nothing to go off of.

OK, then the second part. If I have something unique like email or DN, does anybody have any good way to format LDAP queries for the ini files?

[AndrewB]

yes, sure do. it depends on what you want to query. here's an example i posted for someone else before.

[Mailbox]
LDAPquery = (memberof= CN=MyDistGroup,OU=Organization,OU=Groups,DC=myDomain,DC=com)
LDAPQueryDomain = MyDomain.Com

Yeah I know that. I'm asking of methods for getting from a list say in Excel of email addresses or DNs and formatting that to LDAP. Any scripts, methods, programs etc.
