Set-MailContact Powershell

[robjduk]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to amend a description for a mail contact in Powershell? You would think it's -description but there does not seem to be any way to change it using Powershell. I can't be the first person to want to do this but can not find any mention of it online.

 

Spooky.

 

All help appreciated.

 

Thanks

I cannot see any description field, not sure there is one TBH

not in front of a box to test and I assume you mean on prem ad but something like

 

get-adobject your-contact | set-adobject -add @{description="this is a description"}

 

 

may need to -clear the object first..

Thank you for that. Didn't exactly work however it put me on the right path. Had to Set-ADObject -Identity ***full distinguishedName*** -Description 'this is a description'

 

Think my problem was I was looking at it as a mail object rather than an AD one.

 

Thanks again.
