Is there a script to convert a CustomAttributeTextMultiValue into a comma seperated list and save it into an AD field?

Question

I had a script that would copy the values from adm-CustomAttributeTextMultiValue1 and save them into extensionAttribute15 as a comma seperated list. The script somehow got deleted and I can't seem to find the tutorial I used to create it before.

Hello Jordan,

For us to provide you with the script, please, specify what should be done in case when adm-CustomAttributeTextMultiValue1 is empty. Should extensionAttribute15 also be cleared?

Yes, that would be preferable.

Thanks!

Hello Jordan,

Thank you for the confirmation. Please, find the script below. In the script:

• $propertyStoringValuesName - Specifies the LDAP name of the multi-valued property to take values from.
• $propertyToUpdateName - Specifies the LDAP name of the property to save values to.

$propertyStoringValuesName = "adm-CustomAttributeTextMultiValue1" # TODO: modify me
$propertyToUpdateName = "extensionAttribute15" # TODO: modify me

# Get property values
try
{
    $values = $Context.TargetObject.GetEx($propertyStoringValuesName)
}
catch
{
    $Context.LogMessage("Property $propertyStoringValuesName is empty. Property $propertyToUpdateName will be cleared", "Warning")
    $Context.TargetObject.Put($propertyToUpdateName, $NULL)
    $Context.TargetObject.SetInfo()
    return
}
$valuesToSet = [system.String]::Join(",", $values)

# Update the user
$Context.TargetObject.Put($propertyToUpdateName, $valuesToSet)
$Context.TargetObject.SetInfo()
