We are moving from Unix to Windows and am looking for a quick (?) way to load online/batch users into the gen database (i.e. convert the UID's to NTxxxxxxx).  If anyone can give me some help with this, I would truely appreciate it.

I did it the slow and painful way. Would like to know if there's a quick way to retain the UID also. We had a big consulting firm on-site and they were no help in solving this problem.

Well this can be dicey, but if the login IDs match, you could write a script. IF they don't match, then I'm not sure what you'd match up to, since nothing would match concretely.

If all you have is first and last name, you could do an ldapsearch of AD, and attempt to map it to the GECOS field, but that's messy.

Now once you have a mapping list, you need to find all the tables in GEN, LOGAN, and the apps that have UserName, UserID, Operator, OperatorID, etc, and change the data in a dump and load setup.

I personally use bldexpfd and the data in GEN/ELEMENT, and GEN/FILEFLD to help me.
