How Do You Handle Bulk Changes: Live Queries or Pre-Curated Datasets?

Asked By TechyGamer42 On

I'm looking to make a simple attribute change on about 140 user accounts and I'm wondering about the best approach. In the past, I've typically queried the data, dumped what I need into a spreadsheet to ensure everything's okay, and then imported that for the changes. I find it easier to manage, even if it requires trimming the spreadsheet later. For example, today I'm setting an attribute if it matches a specific value. When I have tasks for multiple computers, I also categorize them using groups based on what's available in my management tool. How do others approach this kind of task?

I always start with a test on a single user. Usually, I’ll use my non-admin account and run the same command through a small CSV file. This way, I can gather my data in that file for the mass change afterward.
