> What do you have so far? Are you using the ActiveDirectory module or the Quest AD module? Will you be reading from a text file or merely searching for a known title from all AD accounts?

> Get-ADUser -filter ‘title -eq "old"’ | Set-ADUser -title ‘new’

> The Quest cmdlets support a similar capability, with a different syntax. Note that if you have a LOT of users with the old title (like, more than a few hundred), you may need to take a different approach.
