We are looking for a Way to automate the updating of users' attributes based off CSV extract from Human Resources.

Hello,

Have a look at the following script in our repository: http://www.adaxes.com/script-repository ... e-s246.htm.

Willy-Wally,

I would also be interested in something like this. I would need something that reads a CSV that would contain information like Employee Number, First Name, Last Name, Phone Number, Office Number, Address, etc and then go into AD and update those fields. I don't think the script support referenced would do the trick.

Hello Ben,

The script updates all the user account properties from the CSV file. It totally meets your requirements.

Hello Ben,

The script we referenced will work correctly only if the CSV file contains user sAMAccountName property. If you need to update users from a CSV that does not contain the property you will need to use another script.

Also the script will not work if the column headers contain properties Display Names (e.g. First Name), they should contain properties LDAP names (e.g. givenName).

If you need a script that will work around these requirements, could you provide us with all the information about the CSV file you will use for updating users?
