Example 3: Bulk Update User Employee ID & Employee Number I just modified the department and job title for 300 users in 15 seconds. Get-ADUser -filter * -Properties * | select department, title To verify for all users use the below PowerShell command. Now I’ll open an account to verify the changes. The tool runs and makes the changes set by the CSV file. Ready to go, I’ll open the tool, select the CSV file and click run. Now, I’ll enter the users info in the CSV file. I look at the LDAP cheat sheet and see I need attributes department and title. You can modify as many attributes at once as you wish.Īgain, if a value is already set it will be overwritten. In this example, I will update the department and title attribute at the same time. Looks great! Example 2: Bulk Update User Department and Job Title The logs will track all changes and also log any errors. Get-ADUser -filter * -Properties * | select name, officeĪnother option is to check the logs within the bulk updater tool. To verify the changes for all users you can use the below PowerShell command. You can see above the user “Albert Dull” has had their Office attribute updated. When the update is complete check an Active Directory user to verify the changes. Open the AD User Bulk Update tool, select the CSV file and click run. Looking at the cheat sheet the LDAP attribute for office is physicalDeliveryOffice. See the end of this post for the cheat sheet. This can be confusing and is why I created a cheat sheet that shows the most common Active Directory names to LDAP attribute names. TIP: The Active Directory names do not always match the LDAP attribute name. This makes it easier to configure the CSV. You can export users to a csv file using PowerShell or a GUI tool. The next column needs to be the attribute you want to modify followed by the value. The first column of the CSV file needs to be the sAmAccountName followed by the list of users you want to modify. I’ve created an LDAP cheat sheet to quickly find the correct LDAP values. If you are not familiar with LDAP attributes you may want to jump to the LDAP attributes section for a quick overview. All you need is the users sAMAccountName (user’s login name) and the LDAP attribute you want to modify. The AD Bulk User Modify tool uses a CSV file to bulk modify Active Directory user accounts. If there is a value already present it will get updated. In this example, I’m going to mass update the Office attribute for 378 AD users.
