<\/a><\/p>\nThe\u00a0logon script\u00a0is blank. There are 3 user accounts for this demo that we are going to change: ProfileDemo001, ProfileDemo002, ProfileDemo003.<\/p>\n
In order to run the Set-ADUser command, we need to prepare some prep work.\u00a0First, a CSV file needs to be created with the usernames that are going to be changed.\u00a0 Below is a screenshot showing the CSV file inside Excel.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It is now time to fire up PowerShell with Active Directory Modules.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The command is the following :\u00a0 Import-CSV ProfileDemo.csv | ForEach-Object {Set-ADUser\u00a0$_.Name -ScriptPath “\\\\logonScripts\\Demo.vbs”}<\/strong><\/p>\n Explanation of the Script : <\/strong>The Import-CSV section allows us to take a list of usernames, and feed (aka PIPE) them into the cmdlet\u00a0“ForEach-Object”. The ForEach-Object\u00a0is required since the Set-ADUser\u00a0does not accept piped input. The ForEach-Object\u00a0will go through all the names in the excel sheet, and set the parameters\u00a0as needed. A full list of the parameter options can be found at : http:\/\/technet.microsoft.com\/en-us\/library\/ee617215.aspx<\/a>\u00a0 Once the script is done, we are left with the C:\\PS> prompt.<\/p>\n To double-check, a quick glance at some of the users will show that the command has completed\u00a0successfully.<\/p>\n Summary :<\/strong>\u00a0The Set-ADUser\u00a0cmdlet\u00a0is a major time saver when combined with the Import-CSV and ForEach-object\u00a0cmdlets. Over time, I have noticed\u00a0that\u00a0I consistently use the following statement very often\u00a0“Import-CSV list.csv | ForEach-object {\u00a0X\u00a0}” where X is the cmdlet that does not accept a pipe input.
