How can I update users using another attribute instead of sAMAccountName (username)?

May 21, 2017 Knowledge Base

To update users using another unique attribute such as userPrincipalName, email address or employeeID click on the ‘Options’ button in the Main ribbon and change the ID Column to the attribute you want to use. The program will then query AD for this value rather than the username (sAMAccountName).
