I think the question is tricky. If we want to be exact then -i and -f are not enough. We need to use also -d to export only londonusers OU on the LDF file. In that concept the answer is B. NO

On second thought. There is no need to filter with -d. You can just export whole domain and edit the attribute only on the specific dn: CN=Londonusers etc... so in that case the answer is A.YES

As provided links clearly state ldifde.exe can modify (with a lot of effort). I still bet on B.NO, because the Q states that you "create" the LIDIF file and then import, not to export / modify / import.

Answer is Yes. To modify a 10000 user attribute, you simply use Excel to modify the csv file. Maybe a couple "Find and Replace" command will help to modify the file, then run Ldifde with the modified csv.

I searched for modifying the attributes of an OU and the answers point only to the Get-ADUser -SearchBase command. No one suggests the LDIFDE solution... https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/694667-active-directory-users-attributes-modification-by-powershell https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1981810-change-address-in-ad-powershell-command https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2207665-powershell-script-to-bulk-edit-office-attribute On the other hand I have also checked the links provided that point out LDIFDE gets the job done, and so I can't understand why others say answer is No. Maybe both are correct, I don't know.

The solution states that you need to modify the office attribute for 10,000 users in the LondonUsers OU. CSVDE is used to import/export objects. LDIFDE can make changes to existing objects. These are existing objects so the answer is wrong. Answer should be A (True)

Compared to the answer in Q246: Get-ADUser, Set-ADUser: The LDIFDE solution is off the mark. Answer is correct, No

This works for one user using LDIF. You'd have to do more logic to change all user accounts in OU, so I don't know if this changes the answer from B to A. I'm betting that A is correct though: notepad.exe -> dn: cn=User1,ou=LondonUsers,dc=MCSA2016,dc=local changetype: modify replace: physicalDeliveryOfficeName physicalDeliveryOfficeName: London - -> save text to: c:\modify.ldf # Update office attribute (only for User1) ldifde -i -f c:\modify.ldf # Export all user attributes (modifiable with ldifde command) ldifde -d "cn=User1,ou=LondonUsers,dc=mcsa2016,dc=local" -r "(objectClass=user)" -f c:\test.ldf

You need to modify not to import or export. So, the answer is correct. View this link https://adamtheautomator.com/csvde-ldifde/#modifying-active-directory-objects section "Modifying Active Directory Objects" second paragraph.

The answer is A. When you create the import file to use with the ldifde command, use a changeType value to define the type of changes that the import file will contain.

ldifde don't need for AD LDS. My opinion is the answer is YES. After the user files prepare, you can create the users with command that ldifde –i -f newusers.ldf

I made mistake. The purpose of this solution is to import the manually created LDIFDE data without exporting some source data. However correct answer is still B. Because to use LDIFDE.exe AD LDS should be installed.
