Sorry, the error is:

PS C:\Windows\system32> Import-Csv 'd:\postcode.csv' | % { Set-ADUser -Identity
$_.name $_.OfficePhone -WhatIf}
Set-ADUser : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument '123456'.

You have to use a named parameter:

-OfficePhone <string>
        Specifies the user's office telephone number. This parameter sets the OfficePhone property of a user object. The LDAP display name (ldapDisplayName) of this 
        property is "telephoneNumber".
        
        The following example shows how to set this parameter.
          -OfficePhone  "+1 (999) 555 1212"
        
        Required?                    false
        Position?                    named
        Default value                
        Accept pipeline input?       false
        Accept wildcard characters?  false

Hi Bigteddy,

I am trying to modifying the below information for existing users using CSV file. Could you help me to do it through Power Shell.

Scenario:

I have 50 Users where I want to modify "Othertelephone" & "info" for those object. These are AD attributes and you can see under respectively: General >> Telephone Number >>Other and Telephone >> Notes.

I want to look users from .csv file and modify above attributes for mentioned users in csv file.

Thanks

Well, all you need to do is to modify the attributes (add otherTelephone and info) from the answer earlier in this thread.

Something like:

Import-CSV "C:\Users.csv" | % {
$User = $_.UserName
$Info = $_.Info
Set-ADUser $User -info $info
}

Hi,

It did´t work. Below are error:

Set-ADUser : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'info'.
At C:\altools\Info.ps1:1 char:115

• Import-CSV "C:\altools\testaccount55.csv" | % { $User = $_.SamAccountName; $Info = $_.Info; Set-adUser $User -info <<
  <<  $info }
      + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [Set-ADUser], ParameterBindingException
      + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.Commands.SetADUser

Otherway:

Set-ADUser : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'othertelephone'.
At C:\altools\Info.ps1:1 char:107

• Import-CSV "C:\altools\testaccount55.csv" | % {$User = $_.SamAccountName; Set-adUser $User -othertelephone <<<<  $_.o
  thertelephone -info $_.info}
      + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [Set-ADUser], ParameterBindingException
      + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.Commands.SetADUser

My Script:

Import-CSV "C:\altools\testaccount55.csv" | % {$User = $_.SamAccountName; Set-adUser $User -othertelephone $_.othertelephone -info $_.info}

From my understanding these two attributed are not acceptable from New-ADUser and Set-ADUser Powershell command.

I am not sure whether we have any other option to put these do attributes data using the other command but importing the same csv file.

Thanks Shambhu
