Answer 1

You need a statement terminator for the New-ADUser cmdlet, before calling Set-ADAccountPassword.
You can either use ;, or place Set-ADAccountPassword on a separate line:
Import-Csv C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\properties1.csv |ForEach-Object {
New-ADUser -path "OU=Users,OU=ICTLAB,DC=gdgshj,DC=com" -UserPrincipalName $_.UserPrincipalName -SamAccountName $_.SamAccountName -GivenName $_.GivenName -Name $_.Name -DisplayName $_.DisplayName -profilepath $_.Profilepath
Set-ADAccountPassword -Identity $_.SamAccountName -Reset -NewPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText $_.Password -Force)
Enable-ADAccount -Identity $_.SamAccountName
}
You can also chain the commands together in a single pipeline, if you use the -PassThru switch on New-ADUser and Set-ADAccountPassword (notice the | at the end of each line):
Import-Csv C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\properties1.csv |ForEach-Object {
New-ADUser -path "OU=Users,OU=ICTLAB,DC=gdgshj,DC=com" -UserPrincipalName $_.UserPrincipalName -SamAccountName $_.SamAccountName -GivenName $_.GivenName -Name $_.Name -DisplayName $_.DisplayName -profilepath $_.Profilepath -PassThru |
Set-ADAccountPassword -Reset -NewPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText $_.Password -Force) -PassThru |
Enable-ADAccount
}
