I am no longer with the team, so I would recommend that you post the question as well as your sample CSV to the AD cmdlets forum here: http://communities.quest.com/community/activeroles?view=discussions

You can always try to add ForEach and see if it helps, e.g.:

Import-Csv c:\update.csv | ForEach-Object { Set-QADUser -Identity $_.sAMAccountName -Title $_.Title }

I tried your script Import-Csv c:\update.csv | Set-QADUser -Identity { $_.sAMAccountName } but it return argument invalid for Identity what is wrong with me

I don’t work at the team anymore so I would really recommend that you contact them via AD and PowerShell forum at http://powergui.org

My guess is that direct pipeline from Import-CSV to Set-QADUser is broken and you should put foreach in-between:

Import-Csv “C:\Temp\update_users.csv” | ForEach { Set-ADUser -Identity $_.samAccountName -Title $_.Title -ObjectAttributes @{EmployeeNumber=$_.EmployeeNumber} }

P.S. I love Alan Parson’s Project.

Am a novice Powershell user.

Have tried to use your script and this does not appear to work for me.
Not sure if it’s an environmental issue or something I am doing wrong.
Also hard to see what’s happening as the script is not returning any errors – so it appears that this is working.

Am trying to run the following script in a ps1 file: -

Import-Csv “C:\Temp\update_users.csv” | Set-ADUser -server “inf003.org.local” -Identity { $_.samAccountName } 2>> “C:\Temp\User_Error_Log.txt”

Script runs ok (as in no errors reported) however does not update the user in the CSV file.

CSV file is as follows: -
samAccountName,Title,EmployeeNumber
user1,Testing123,567890

So as you can see all CSV titles are correct and I think it should work?

The changes I made to your original script at the top of this post was the server name (as reading other posts on the web I was coming up against a problem where I did not have sufficient rights to run the commands, even though I was logged in with DA privilages and running the console as Admin) and I am attempting to log any errors to a log file using 2>>

Any thoughts?
Help much appreciated!
