How to use Powershell to update user details in Active Directory?

Hi,
I received an updated contact list from HR of about 1500 names, and I want to update (make corrections and add missing data) ADUC quickly without having to do each user manually. How would I go about that using power-shell?
The fields that need updating are:
Under the General tab -> Description, Telephone number
Everything under the Address tab
Under the Telephone tab - > Mobile
Under the Organization tab -> Job Title, Department, Company, Manager
The server we're using is Windows Server 2008 R2.
Many thanks,
Nick

Have you run side-by-side metrics on this?
I've run the Delete Object method and your script against similar data sets and yours appears to take a fair bit longer. I'd have to re-run in identical circumstances, a few times, to really say for sure, but my initial impression is that it will take hours
longer.
I guess the point is somewhat moot anyway, as for me the bit that generally takes longest is the actual query, rather than the deletions.
Boy how I wish I could just enter something into the FIM Portal directly that would blast out a bunch of users matching a query. One day...

Updating user details programmatically

Portal version 3.0.9.8.1
We are successfully creating users programmatically using the
APIs:
PORTAL30_SSO.WWSSO_API_USER_ADMIN.CREATE_USER and
PORTAL30.WWSEC_API.ADD_PORTAL_USER
We are now trying to update user details programmatically using
PORTAL30.WWSEC_API.MODIFY_PORTAL_USER but noticed that this only
updates the portal30 user details - not portal30_sso.
Is there an equivalent API for updating the portal30_sso user?

Hi mon_adobe,
It's not possible to redirect this form upon submission to another page. However what you can do here is place a redirect on the 'Update Details Form Confirmation Page' System Page as a workaround. You can access this System Page via Site Manager > System Pages > Update Details Form Confirmation Page.

How to use advanced tab in user reports?

Hi,
How to use "advanced" tab in user reports?
I have two reports. I fill "Report ID" in both and then I can push "Add Report" and fill fields property.
Then I'm can "drill" from one report to another on right click, but how to pass parameters?
Is it even possible?
Regard
Libor

Thank you for reply.
I can't get it working.
I have two reports:
1. report:
Name: test
SQL: select 1 NUM, 'text' TEXT from dual;
On advanced tab:
ReportID: -null-
Name: test2
Report: Test2
2. report
Name: test2
SQL: select :NUM from dual;
Now, when I run the first report and click do right click on a row and select TEST2
from popup menu, it navigates to the second report test2, but WITHOUT actual value
from NUM column from first report.
I'm using latest version of SQL Developer (1.1.1.25) and I like reports.
With this feature it would be even better.
Regards
Libor

This is usually a problem if Anonymous Binding is enabled. I have faced this in other Directory Servers, but I am not familiar with Active Directory.
I think by default Active Directory disables Anonymous Binding, but you may want to check.

Hi All,
I have a task, that is i want to retrive the details from active directory based on name and i want show that details into grid view.
Can any one help how to start.
Thanks in advance!

Hi AnilKarthik,
You can get user details by name using DirectoryService namespace. Then you can create a DataTable to restore the information and then bind to the SharePoint GridView.
Here are some deatiled code demos for your reference:

Is it possible to switch from Office 365 online user management to Active Directory after Exchange online migration?

If we utilize the Cutover method to migrate from on-premise Exchange (2007) to Office 365, which to my understanding will hand over user management/authentication to Office 365 online during the process, is possible to later switch from Office 365 user management
to Active Directory (synced to a future local domain, or even possibly via AD federation single sign-on)? If so, how difficult is this process and is there any documentation available?
Asking this because the organization I'm working for plans to upgrade (re-do actually) its entire infrastructure. There will be a completely brand new domain/AD set up that's totally unrelated to the old one. At the same time, we also plan to migrate
all emails (previously hosted locally on Exchange 2007) to Office 365 and get rid of local exchange. Now because we will set up new domain, we do not want to carry over the older AD to the cloud, hence we will not use the "Staged Migration".
So the plan is to to use "Cutover" migration first, which means all authentications will become Office 365 managed. That's fine for now. But later, after we set up our new domain and AD controller etc, we'd like to have Exchange Online switch back
to syncing with our new on-premise AD. We'd also like to consider the AD Federation Services if it's not too complicated to set up.
Your advice on this would be greatly appreciated!

In principle, you cannot sync back from the cloud AD to the on-prem, yet. But you can take advantage of the soft-matching mechanism once you have the new AD in place:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2641663
Be careful though, as the moment you turn on Dirsync, all the matching users in the cloud will have their attributes overwritten. A very good idea is to do an 'export' of the cloud AD first, using the WAAD module for PowerShell and the Get-MsolUser cmdlets,
which you can then use to compare or import data in the new on-prem AD. Some links:

Is it possible to map a Sponsor Group in Cisco ISE to a user group in Active Directory, through a RADIUS server?

Hi!!
We are working on a mapping between a Sponsor Group in Cisco ISE and a user group in Active Directory....but the client wants the mapping to be through a RADIUS SERVER, for avoiding ISE querying directly the Active Directory.
I know it is possible to use a RADIUS SERVER as an external identity source for ISE.....but, is it possible to use this RADIUS SERVER for this sponsor group handling?
Thanks and regards!!

Yes It is possible to map Sponser group to user group in AD and if you want to know how to do please open the below link and go to Mapping Active Directory Groups to Sponsor Groups heading.

Autheticating useing Cisco ACS 4.2 integrated with Active Directory 2003

How do i check that users are Autheticated useing Cisco ACS 4.2 integrated with Active Directory 2003, any one help me in this thanks

You can't actually see the user's membership from ACS. All you can do, create group-mapping under external database >> group mapping section. This would give you an option to map external (AD) group with an Internal group.The group memberrship need to be modified under Active Directory.
Once user is succussfully authenticated and learned as a dynamic user in ACS user setup database, it would be mapped with an ACS internal group based on group mapping we did.
Let me know if you have any doubts.

Jatin
