GAL Reports   

This question has probably already been asked a million times, here goes
with 1,000,001:

Our company has about 14000 employees that are spread across about 60
divisions in the US.  The receptionist at each division manually creates an
Excel spreadsheet for their division, listing just employees for that
division.  Is there an end-user method, or utility, that will allow them to
automate this?

Thanks

Jinkies!
OK. Depending on how your AD is structured you may well be able to
pull this out of AD in about 10 seconds flat.

Go into one of the AD groups and tell them how it's structured, what
attributes you have populated and ask this question.

They will talk to you about giving delegated rights to receiptionists
to update certain fields (hey, "office" would be one!) and then
they'll talk to you about either exporting from AD or running a
regular query.

If they don't help you then EMAIL me direct. I will get you something
from an AD guru that I either sleep with or drink with.
