EXPERT RESPONSE
Your options are to write a script or to use a tool such as LDIFDE. LDIFDE is the most common way to do what you're trying to do:
1. Export your directory using LDIFDE.
2. Then reformat the export into a spreadsheet-compatible format (such as comma-delimited or tab-delimited).
3. Import into Excel and make your changes.
4. Export from Excel to delimited and reformat back into LDIFDE-ready input.
5. Finally, import back into your Active Directory.
Hint: There are a few readily available utilities available to convert between spreadsheet-compatible and LDIFDE-compatible formats.
