Hi Brian,

You may be hitting this very odd Bug;

CSCsh53133 Bug Details

BAT overwrites last names with **LASTNAME**

Symptom:

When using Bulk Administration / Users / Update User function, BAT overwrites last names with **LASTNAME**

Conditions:

The BAT file looks as follows:

USER ID,PASSWORD,MANAGER USER ID,DEPARTMENT,PIN,DEFAULT PROFILE,USER LOCALE,TELEPHONE NUMBER,PRIMARY EXTENSION,ASSOCIATED PC,IPCC EXTENSION,MAIL ID,USER GROUP 1,CONTROLLED PROFILE 1,CONTROLLED DEVICE 1

userid,,,test,,,,,,,,,,Standard CCM End Users,SEPXXXXXXXXXXXX

Workaround:

1. Modify BAT file so it includes 'LAST NAME' field set to '*'. This field should be before the user group, user profile and controlled device fields.

Example:

USER ID,LAST NAME,PASSWORD,MANAGER USER ID,DEPARTMENT,PIN,DEFAULT PROFILE,USER LOCALE,TELEPHONE NUMBER,PRIMARY EXTENSION,ASSOCIATED PC,IPCC EXTENSION,MAIL ID,USER GROUP 1,CONTROLLED PROFILE 1,CONTROLLED DEVICE 1

userid,*,,,test,,,,,,,,,,Standard CCM End Users,SEPXXXXXXXXXXXX

2. When using above BAT file, specify '*' in the 'Value for fields to be ignored' field on the BAT job configuration page.
