FeatureRequest - ignore/commit changes when mass restoring AD attributes

[techbold-MWA]

Dear Team,

regarding Case # 05654753:

if msExchRecipientTypeDetails is set in AD-User Attribute Editor:
AD User Restore (AD Explorer) will fail regarding an Warning, so we have to use "Compare Attributes" // it's working, but this isn't useable in case of mass restore!
Option A: please provide "do it anyway" Option in AD Explorer (for skipping / commiting the warning)
Option B: if "A" isn't possible ... please provide possibility for selecting more then one User in "Compare"

Please keep us posted regarding the feature request, the actual state of it...

Best,
Mike

Hi Mike

Thanks for posting the case number. I also found the request in our internal system.
The request is noted for improvement for a future version, but no ETA yet.

As a workaround, could you use PowerShell to empty that value before doing the restore for these users? The restore writes back the value from the backup. A simple PowerShell script to write $NULL to that value is much simpler than using compare for each user.

Thanks
Fabian
