I hope it is okay for a newbie to jump in here. I downloaded the Directory Update application and took a peek. Thanks NTDOC for pointing it out. It is quite simple and to the point. Directory Update more closely matches what we need our users to do, it is customizable, and it is very easy to use. And $250 USD is a bargain at the current exchange rate. :-)

I looked previously at the Community Edition of rDirectory. rDirectory is a powerful application, but it is a bit much for an end-user since it requires them to first search the directory for their account, select it, and specify Edit. I could live with that, but the fields such as City, Office, and State are not validated via drop-down list, it does not contain the Department attribute, you cannot hide any of the attributes on the form, and the attribute labels are fixed (you can't customize or localize them.)


By the way, thank you to all the regulars here that make these forums so helpful!
