Powershell command to find employee number and update business unit - powershell

Question

I am trying to write a powershell script that will first import from a CSV file. The CSV file will contain the AD employee number attribute, and also the business unit attribute.
The script needs to find the AD user based on employee number attribute from the CSV, then update the business unit attribute for that user also contained in the CSV file. CSV will look like:
0,1
8022651,Sales & Marketing
So far I have been able to lookup the employee number using this:
$EmployeeNumber='8022651'
get-ADUser -Filter {EmployeeNumber -eq $EmployeeNumber}
I know I can use Import-CSV, but don't know how to piece it all together. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

First we need to get the contents of the csv like so
Import-Csv "path to your csv"
If the business unit is located in the Office field we can update it with set-aduser like so
% { set-aduser $_.0 -Office $_.1 }
The % is short for foreach-object, what this essentially does is grab each user one at a time and change the Office field in AD
if we put $_ into a pipeline it will get the previous information passed through so in this case we're grabbing the "0" and "1" headers from the CSV
Once the users Office has been changed it's nice to see each change so we can use write-host like so
write-host "Changed the office of $($_.0) to $($_.1)
Once again we are using $_.0 and $_.1 to get the headings from Import-Csv but because write-host is based on a string we have to put variables into $( ) for them to display correctly.
Put together it is:
Import-Csv "path to your csv" | % {set-ADUser $_.0 -Office $_.1; write-host "Changed the office of $($_.0) to $($_.1)}
This will
Grab the information from your CSV
->then change info in Active Directory for each person based on the 0 and 1 headers
-->then write on the screen who it changed and what to
I hope this made sense, if not let me know in the comments below.
EDIT:
$csv = Import-Csv "path to your csv"
foreach($usr in $csv) {
get-ADUser -Filter {EmployeeNumber -eq $usr.0} | set-ADUser $_ -Office $usr.1
}
EDIT 2:
$csv = Import-Csv "path to your csv"
foreach($usr in $csv) {
$usrToEdit = $usr.0
$editUsr = Get-ADUser -Filter {EmployeeNumber -eq $usrToEdit}
set-aduser -Identity $editUsr.SamAccountName -Office $usr.1
}
