modify active directory users with powershell
This is a video about how to modify users in Active Directory Users and Computers in PowerShell. This is a simple script, but they can be much more complex. The trick is to get to be more familiar with it and then you can crank out scripts on the fly. I made this video on Windows Server 2008, but you can use powershell on Windows 7, Vista, XP, Server 2008, and Server 2003.
Commands used…
$objUser=[ADSI]“LDAP://cn=Stavro Mueller, ou=people, dc=my, dc=domain”
$objUser.put(“company”,”Wingnuts, inc”)
$objUser.setinfo()
