Mass change to Active Directory

Need to move a mandatory profile to a new server. Therefore I must change
the profile path for every student in AD.
The students belong to a student OU. What is the simplest way to make this
change

You could select multiple users, right click, properties and change the
profile path there. Or use Hyena http://www.systemtools.com/. Or write a
script.
It would be a good idea to change it to a DFS path so you don't have to
change it again,

Please explain the DFS path.
The mandatory profile is stored in a shared called Profiles.

If you create a DFS namespace and use the profile path \\dfsname\profiles$
instead of \\servername\profiles$ then you won't have to change it again if
the server changes,

If there is a 2003 Server that is a DC on your network, you can highlight
all objects (users) and modify the properties of all of them at once from
that box.
