Stack Overflow Asked by user8624315 on December 19, 2020
So, I am working on a project that will update some employee information weekly as required by audit based on our HR system. The only unique matching field that I have from HR is employeeID (for both users and managers). I have no problem getting Get-ADUser to pull up the employee and update these fields, but now I also need to update the employee’s manager using their employee ID. I’m not sure how to get powershell to convert that manager employee ID into their UPN or some other method to pull their info. Here is my code
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
$Users = Import-csv "C:Usersmy.stuffstuffTitlePowershell.csv"
foreach($User in $Users) {
Get-ADUser -Filter {EmployeeID -eq $user.employeeID}
| Set-ADUser -replace @{description=$User.description; title=$User.title; manager=$user.ManagerID}
}
What can I add to get manager to update from their employee id?
The Manager
attribute of a user contains the DistinguishedName
of that user.
Since apparently in your CSV file, you have the EmployeeID
of that manager, you need to do some extra work to get the DN
Try
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
$Users = Import-csv "C:Usersmy.stuffstuffTitlePowershell.csv"
foreach($User in $Users) {
# get the user object for the manager
$usr = Get-ADUser -Filter "EmployeeID -eq '$($user.employeeID)'" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if ($usr) {
# get the user object for the manager
$mgr = Get-ADUser -Filter "EmployeeID -eq '$($user.ManagerID)'" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if ($mgr) {
$usr | Set-ADUser -Replace @{Description = $User.description; Title = $User.title; Manager = $mgr.DistinguishedName}
}
else {
Write-Warning "No manager found with EmployeeID $($user.ManagerID)"
}
}
else {
Write-Warning "No user found with EmployeeID $($user.employeeID)"
}
}
