Default ADSIEdit alternative

I need to manually edit a bunch of attributes in the Domain partition of one of our AD forests and although I can do it with ADSIEdit, it's a right pain in the arse because it will only let me select and delete one entry in an attribute at a time and in some cases I need to delete about 50. Multiply that by 350 users and I'm getting very bored.

I know I can script it, I know I can use ldp and so on, but depending on certain criteria the values that I need to delete will vary so I don't want to cock it up by deleting the wrong stuff so being a sod and assigning the task to someone else is the way forward but it's a bit harsh to get them to select each value in turn and press delete (or Alt + R, I think).

So, does anyone know of something that'll let me edit the attributes by selecting multiple values and pressing delete just once?

ADSIEdit is the only gui tool I use - after that it's vb for stuff like this.

A guy I know uses AD Search as a more powerful search tool, it might let you delete stuff too, worth a look If nothing else, if you can come up with a query to pickup most of the objects with attributes you need to nuke, using something like this to once over the result set, you could zap that lot en masse and get a bod to pick out whatever's left? Depends how fiddly the selection criteria is I guess.
