# Build report
#$html = New-Object "System.Text.StringBuilder"
#$html.Append($reportHeader)
#$html.Append("<b>The following users were found in Active Directory:</b>")
#$html.Append("<ol>")
#$html.Append($userFound.ToString())
#$html.Append("</ol>")
#$html.Append($reportFooter)

#$Context.SendMail($to, $subject, $NULL, $html.ToString())

In this script I use # Build sAMAccountName $sAMAccountName = $userObject.sn.substring(0,4) + $userObject.GivenName.substring(0,3) + $userObject.initials This sets the Sam Name to first 4 of last name first three of first name and middle initial. I would like to add a 2 for now if the sam isn't unique.

Hello,

There is no need to do it in the import script itself. You can use a business rule triggering Before creating a user. For details, have a look at the following tutorial: https://www.adaxes.com/tutorials_SimplifyingDataEntry_ValidateModifyUserInputWithScript.htm.
