Thanks both.
I will try these this morning.
I think the reason I was getting the ambiguous identity error is because I
need to get the user listed under manager (which is the display name) as
$manager, and then the user listed under user with the account name.
I have the display name of the manager in the csv, I need to get the
account name for that.
Then I have the account name of the user in the csv, I need to get that
account and then update the manager on that user.
Does that make sense?
So:
User Manager
candee "last name first name"
I need to update candee's manager to the user account that matches the
display name.
