EmloyeeID Powershell Script

[Bezwick]

Hi everyone, was wondering if one of you could help me with this script.

 

I have been asked to import our student SIMS id into the EmloyeeID attribute in Active Directory and have come across this little script.

 

Import-module ActiveDirectory

Import-CSV "C:\users.csv" | % {

$User = $_.UserName

$ID = $_.EmployeeID

Set-ADUser $User -employeeID $ID

}

 

However it appears to only scan the default user OU at the root of the domain. Anyone know how to modify it so it scans all OU's in the active directory or at least what commands i need to add so that it can search a specific OU?

 

Thanks

Strange as using a unique identifier like SAMAccountName, it shouldn't matter where it is, Set-ADUSer should find it. Out of interest if you modify your script to Get-ADUser rather than Set do you see the same results? If using get works you could modify your script to

 

Import-module ActiveDirectory

Import-CSV "C:\users.csv" | % {

$User = $_.UserName

$ID = $_.EmployeeID

Get-ADUser $User | Set-ADUser -employeeID $ID

}
