hi,

i think easiest way users email details into a csv file

you need download quest powershell commandlets (they free) http://www.quest.com/powershell/activeroles-server.aspx

then open csv in excel or notepad , change email address - can find , replace. once done, can import csv in updating email address field - may need update proxyaddresses field - if let me know can give code that.

get-qaduser -searchroot "ou=ou-where-the-users-are,dc=domainname,dc=domainname" | export-csv c:\temp\usersemail.csv

import-csv c:\temp\usersemail.csv | foreach { 	set-qaduser $_.userprincipalname -email $_.mail 	}
