Subject: Re: [powershell] Ambiguous Identity
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

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.

Candee,
I was able to get just the displayname using this, assuming $displayname is
valid:
$manager = get-qaduser -identity (get-qaduser $displayame | select
manager).manager | select displayname

Subject: [powershell] Ambiguous Identity
I'm not sure if I can do this, but I'm almost finished with these scripts for
HR's new software package....
I need to update the "manager" attribute, but they are giving me the display
name of the manager, not the samaccountname.
I keep getting Ambiguous Identity, and I can't seem to get it.
This is what I have:
$manager = (get-qaduser displayname -eq $_.manager)
I've tried it the other way as well , (get-qaduser $_.manager displayname), but
that didn't work either.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Candee
The entire script, for context:
Import-Csv "C:\temp\filesin\user_changes.csv" |foreach{
#Check for preferred first name, if blank, use real first name
$givenName = ''
If( -not [string]::isnullorempty($_.preferredfirstname))
{
$givenname = $_.preferredfirstname
}
else
{
$givenname = $_.firstname
}
#Check for preferred last name, if blank, use real last name
$SN = ''
If( -not [string]::isnullorempty($_.lastnamepreferred))
{
$SN = $_.lastnamepreferred
}
else
{
$sn = $_.lastname
}
$manager = (get-qaduser displayname -eq $_.manager)
$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}
