Powershell AD Attributes Update if missing

samuelcolt · 2018-08-02T22:55:30.000Z

Could someone out there please help me create a PowerShell script that does the following?

Filter out users who are missing any of the following attributes and set accordingly.

-SearchBase “OU=IT,DC=contoso,DC=com”

“Office” set “SFO”
“City” set “San Francisco”
“State” set “CA”
“PostalCode” set “94105”
“Country” set “US”
“Company” set “Contoso”

Also, set home directory to H: (\server\share%username%)

Thanks,
Sam

What have you tried so far? Where are you stuck with that?

Get-aduser should get you all the info.

Set-aduser will set them for you.

In between you want some evaluation. If/else would work

Set home folder here https://community.spiceworks.com/scripts/show/4157-bulk-update-and-create-ad-users-home-folder-with-permissions

you can also select all users at once and paste home folder \server\share%username%

Try this not tested edited: tested


```
$params = @{
Office = 'SFO'
City = 'San Francisco'
State ='CA'
PostalCode ='94105'
Country = 'US'
Company= 'Contoso'
}
$Filter = {(office -notlike '*') -or (City -notlike '*') -or (state -notlike '*')-or (Postalcode -notlike '*') -or (country -notlike '*')-or(company -notlike '*')}
get-aduser -Filter $filter -searchbase "OU=contoso,DC=domain,dc=com" |
Set-ADUser  @params
```

Or make it simpler.

If the properties are all the same for every user then just set them all again. So you can use Jiten’s code without the filter:

$params = @{
    Office     = 'SFO'
    City       = 'San Francisco'
    State      = 'CA'
    PostalCode = '94105'
    Country    = 'US'
    Company    = 'Contoso'
}
get-aduser -Filter * -searchbase "OU=contoso,DC=domain,dc=com" | 
    Set-ADUser @params

Use searchbase in the Get-ADUser to limit the change to the users that need the changes made, i.e. actual users and not service accounts.
