We shall now learn the process for bulk user updates in Active Directory. This is where automation plays a key role in making the tedious and the long-winded extremely easy. Let us suppose you have a huge data dump of user names with email addresses and phone numbers to be updated in Active Directory. The data dump is given to you in CSV file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Practice<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

At present, the users from the dump do not have those values set in Active Directory. We use the following steps to perform the bulk user updates –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. First, use the Import-CSV cmdlet to read in the contents of the dump file.<\/li>
  2. Second step ForEach-Object cmdlet will execute the code between the curly braces for each line from the CSV file sent down the pipeline.<\/li>
  3. Next, the code uses Get-ADUser with a filter to matche the ‘Name’ from the CSV file column to the name of a user in Active Directory.<\/li>
  4. Then, if a match is found, then the final object is piped into the Set-ADUser cmdlet. <\/li>
  5. Lastly, the Set-ADUser cmdlet updated the user’s email address and phone number based on the current entries from the ‘Email’ and ‘Phone’ columns of the CSV file.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    We us use PowerShell to read in the CSV file and make the bulk update (Import-CSV .\\Data_Update.csv |)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    ForEach-Object {Get-ADUser -Filter “Name -eq `”$($_.Name)`”” | Set-ADUser -EmailAddress $_.Email -OfficePhone $_.Phone}<\/p>\n\n\n\n
