I'm getting closer - thanks for helping..
Here is the snip of script I'm using; I can see it's returning the manager
name, but it's not setting it in the user account.
Any suggestions?
Thanks again!
$manager = get-qaduser $_.manager | select name
$EMPNMR = $_.employeegui
$SAM = $_.MISUSERNAME
set-qaduser $SAM -displayname $displayname `
-givenname $givenname `
-sn $SN `
-company $_.Company `
-department $_.department -title $_.businesscardtitle
-telephonenumber $_.telephone `
-city $_.city -postalcode $_.zip -state $_.state `
-streetaddress $_.street -manager $manager `
-oa
@{ipphone=$_.ipphone;mobile=$_.mobile;employeenumber=$_.employeegui} `
And the error I'm getting:
Set-QADUser : Cannot bind parameter 'Manager'. Cannot convert the
"@{Name=cvaglica}" value of type "Selected.Quest.ActiveRoles.ArsPower
ShellSnapIn.Data.ArsUserObject" to type
"Quest.ActiveRoles.ArsPowerShellSnapIn.Data.IdentityParameter".
