samba - Oct 2016 - Change user's email domain in AD

We are preparing for an email domain name change. Is there a way I can 
script this in AD? I can of course manually edit each user's email 
address but I'd rather use a script that can be tied in with other 
scripted processes that will be performed during the switch-over, which 
would save me considerable time. I can't use ADUC for this because the 
username part of the email address is not necessarily tied to their 
logon, or even their full name, so there's no variable I can use to 
match that part.

regards,
John

You could use a script to generate an LDIF that makes all the changes.
And, then apply the LDIF with ldbmodify.
