Mass Update Community String

Need a way to mass update community strings, currently when you do this after 5 devices are selected it will not work as the verification won't pass in time (the product does a good job of informing you of this.)

However when we have to mass change community strings for 10000+ Devices it would be beneficial to have an override to put them in place regardless of verification instead of having to Query it out.

You can ignore the warning and let it update. I have updated 250 at a time for 1,000's of nodes.

I just monitored the nodes to see if anyone stopped collecting on the new string (I only ran into about 5 that we had to rerun the automation job on).

Alternatively, you could update the information via SWQL. I built a script to do this work: Find & Replace Community Strings (Read-Only and Read-Write) - Scripts - The Orion Platform - THWACK (solarwinds.com)
