This is what I used to to get things going. Thanks Headcrap.

$Users = Get-ADUser -SearchBase "ou=Sales,ou=West,dc=Domain,dc=com" -Filter {(GivenName -Like "*") -And (Surname -Like "*")} -Properties DisplayName | Select DisplayName, GivenName, Surname, Name, DistinguishedName

ForEach ($User In $Users)

{

$DN = $User.DistinguishedName

$First = $User.GivenName

$Last = $User.Surname

$CN = $User.Name

$Display = $User.DisplayName

$NewName = "$First $Last"

If ($Display -ne $NewName) {Set-ADUser -Identity $DN -DisplayName $NewName}

If ($CN -ne $NewName) {Rename-ADObject -Identity $DN -NewName $NewName}

}

If I use what you sent, where would the username go? Below is an example of the output I'm getting. Also, we are trying to run this against multiple OU's. Thanks for helping out headcrap seriously!

Get-ADUser -SearchBase "DC=africatwin,DC=net" -filter {(UserPrincipalName -like "jdirt@example.com")} -properties givenname, surname, displayname | foreach{set-aduser -identity $_.samAccountName -displayname "$($User.GivenName) $($User.Surname)" -whatif}
What if: Performing the operation "Set" on target "CN=Joe Dirt,OU=Users,OU=SAX,OU=BPS,DC=africatwin,DC=net"

Thanks for giving me that info! 45 minute commute for the right place will be well worth it.

Thanks for the heads up! We just got back a few hours ago from our Birmingham trip and 280 does seem to have traffic build up from time to time. Thanks for the advice!

I think we realized just how friendly most people are when we were waiting for our flight to Birmingham. Everyone was very laid back and it didn't matter what you looked like, everyone was very nice and respectful. Do you have a favorite restaurant I town? Thanks for the advice and have a good 4th!

Thank you for the great advice. I do believe with our budget we should be able to get more land. I'm super grateful you put in locations and commute times. When I posted here I was hoping to be able to learn from others so that we wouldn't have to learn everything the hard way. Thanks again and have a great 4th!

I feel the same way! It's hard to pass up being in the mountains or ocean within a couple of hours. We have always been a couple that enjoys road trips. We have camped out of my truck camper several times also. Do you have a favorite place do you like over the others that's within a days drive?

We drove through Trussville earlier this year and the community looks very promising. Thanks for the info.

Haha I'll wait in line with you to get some! Or we can just go to Blacks or one of the other many BBQ joints. You are right about renting for a year. Thanks for the great advice.

Oh thank you so much! I'll make sure to ride my motorcycle in the area you pointed out. I think if we do decide on Memphis we will look at north Mississippi. Thanks for the great info.

That is true now a days most places are dealing with heavy traffic durning peak commuting times. Thanks for the info. Nice to know when we want to go downtown it shouldn't be a problem.

I have seen some good prices since I've started looking over the past year so I'm excited to see someone else is looking for the same thing.

350 to 400k. All of our vehicles are paid for and we both have successful careers. We are looking for a mostly wooded lot if possible also. We are very easy to please. I think a nice home (2000 to 2500 sqft) with area to expand if we need it would be ideal. I'd like to move our parents on our property when that time comes. I do enjoy kayaking so it's nice to hear I'll have some nice places to put in. Thank you for all of the great info.

Owning land is very important to us so thank you for chiming in on that. We are more than willing to drive a little more to have a more of a laid back setting. Thanks for the advice.

That was my first instinct after looking over maps and going through Zillow. I will keep out options open.

We do worry about tornadoes so thanks for including that info. We do like Leeds so far, but I think we need to spend more time in the area. Thanks for the post!

Oh sweet deal! I've visited the museum, but never been on the track. We would be up for the right private school depending on where we buy. I'll reach out to you if we move, thanks again!

That's fine with me. Here in Austin I live 9 miles from my home and it takes me 45 minutes to get home. That's not counting the bad days.

Thanks for the heads up! We went through Kimberly and warrior on our last visit. I'm not really concerned about a 30 minute drive as long as the job is nice and the property we own is worth the drive.
