In a Windows Server 2003 R2 environment, using Powershell v2.0, how would one duplicate the functionality of Set-QADUser to update user properties in Active Directory, like their phone number and title?
The trick here being, I would like to do this without depending on Set-QADUser and I do not have the option to use the Server 2008's commandlets, yet.
Thanks.
Piecing things together from around the internet, I came up with this...
function Get-ADUser( [string]$samid=$env:username){
$searcher=New-Object DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher
$searcher.Filter="(&(objectcategory=person)(objectclass=user)(sAMAccountname=$samid))"
$user=$searcher.FindOne()
if ($user -ne $null ){
$user.getdirectoryentry()
}
}
$user = Get-ADUser 'UserName'
# Output all properties
$user.psbase.properties
# Change some properties
$user.title = 'New Title'
$user.telephoneNumber = '5555551212'
$user.SetInfo()
# Output the results
$user.title
$user.telephoneNumber
