Modify the ldif file with new email addresses and add the lines <br />   <br />   changetype: modify<br />   replace: mail <br />   <br /> (Make sure about "-" and the space between the entries) - You ldif file should look like the following <br /> (except the dn and mail attribute values)<br /> <br /> #Start of file (Donot copy this line)<br /> <br /> dn: cn=Larry Fine,ou=MemberGroupA,o=stooges<br /> changetype: modify <br /> replace: mail<br /> mail: <a class="snap_shots" href="mailto:test@test.com">test@test.com</a><br /> -<br /> <br /> dn: cn=Moe Howard,ou=MemberGroupA,o=stooges<br /> changetype: modify <br /> replace: mail<br /> mail: <a class="snap_shots" href="mailto:test@test.com">test@test.com</a><br /> -<br /> <br /> #End of file (Donot copy this line)<br /> <br /> 7.

				<description><![CDATA[ In that case, make sure that the attribute already exist<br /> and modify your ldif like this For e.g to add the old value to attribute 'oldemail' <br /> <br /> dn: cn=Larry Fine,ou=MemberGroupA,o=stooges <br /> changetype: modify <br /> replace: mail <br /> mail: <a class="snap_shots" href="mailto:test@test.com">test@test.com</a> <br /> - <br /> <br /> dn: cn=Larry Fine,ou=MemberGroupA,o=stooges<br /> changetype: modify <br /> add: oldemail<br /> oldemail: oldemailaddress.com<br /> -<br /> <br /> dn: cn=Moe Howard,ou=MemberGroupA,o=stooges <br /> changetype: modify <br /> replace: mail <br /> mail: <a class="snap_shots" href="mailto:test@test.com">test@test.com</a> <br /> - <br /> <br /> Please make sure that you are updating the correct entries.]]></description>
