Adding Attribute After Being Built

Question

I'm trying to update mailNickname to cas_{ but nothing seems to work. This is my completed script of everything working but changing the mailNickname at the end of the code. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks

Here is the basic code

# Update User mailNickname NOT WORKING
$cas = "cas_{"
$Context.SetModifiedPropertyValue("mailNickname", $cas)
#$Context.SetModifiedPropertyValue("mailNickname", "cas_{") Wont work also

Here is the completed script.

Import-Module Adaxes
$upnSuffix = "YYYYY.com" # TODO: modify me

function IsUserNameUnique($username)
{
   $user = Get-AdmUser $username -erroraction silentlycontinue
   return $user -eq $Null
}

# Get the username
$username = $Context.GetModifiedPropertyValue("samAccountName")

# Check if the username is unique
if (IsUserNameUnique($username))
{
    return
}

# If the username is not unique, generate a unique one
$firstName = $Context.GetModifiedPropertyValue("givenName")
$lastName = $Context.GetModifiedPropertyValue("sn")
$uniqueUsername = $Null
if (($firstName -ne $NULL) -and ($lastName -ne $NULL))
{
    $username = $lastName.Substring(0, 7)
    $Context.LogMessage($username, "Information")
    $Context.LogMessage($lastName, "Information")
    foreach ($char in $firstName.ToCharArray())
    {
        $username = "$username$char"
        if (IsUserNameUnique($username))
        {
            $uniqueUsername = $username
            break
        }
    }
}

if ($uniqueUsername -eq $NULL)
{
    for ($i = 1; $True; $i++)
    {
        $uniqueUsername = $username + $i;
        if (IsUserNameUnique($uniqueUsername))
        {
            break
        }
    }
}

# Update User Logon Name (pre-Windows 2000)
$Context.SetModifiedPropertyValue("samAccountName", $uniqueUsername)

# Update User Logon Name
$Context.SetModifiedPropertyValue("userPrincipalName", "$uniqueUsername@$upnSuffix")
$Context.LogMessage("The username has been changed to " + $uniqueUsername `
    + ".", "Information")

# Update User mailNickname NOT WORKING
$cas = "cas_{"
$Context.SetModifiedPropertyValue("mailNickname", $cas)
#$Context.SetModifiedPropertyValue("mailNickname", "cas_{") Wont work also

Hello,

That's strange. Do you get any errors and/or warnings?

---

I do not get any errors when the account is built.

Answer 1

I got it working. I pulled it from the other script and set up adaxes to run the change command after the username has been checked.
