I can think of two possible options.<br><br>You can Reimport the phones in BAT with the new description. If you check the 'overwrite existing settings' box it will only modify settings that differ from those on the existing phone. I'd suggest testing this on a small number of phones to get an import file with the fewest number of fields possible so you don't inadvertently change settings extra settings. <br>
<br>The other option would be to use a sql query at the cli. something like <br><br>run sql update device set description = 'New Description' where description = 'Old Description' and name like 'SEP%'<br>
<br>Unless there is a pattern to the new and old descriptions, you'll have to have a separate query for each device but it's doable<br><br>This all assumes you're running CM 5 or higher<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

a way to change 250 phone descriptions (where each description is unique) as a
single BAT job. Is there a way? It seems that I would have to create
250 separate jobs to do this. We are moving to a new building next week
and I would like to program all of the room numbers (which we program as part of
the description field) in advance and then run the job when we move. Any BAT
advice would be greatly appreciated.</font></span></div>
