Import computers from csv Powershell

Hi,
I'm trying to import some computers within sccm via Powershell but get the following error:
PS STC:\> $Computers = Import-Csv "C:\computers.csv"
$CollectionName = "STC - W7 - Deploy"
ForEach ($Workstation in $Computers)
Import-CMComputerInformation -ComputerName $Workstation.Name -MacAddress $Workstation.Mac -CollectionName $CollectionName
Import-CMComputerInformation : Cannot validate argument on parameter 'MacAddress'. System.Management.Automation.ValidationMetadataException
At line:5 char:77
+ ... -ComputerName $Workstation.Name -MacAddress $Workstation.Mac -Collec ...
Csv contains:
Name,Mac
Computer1,0C:51:8F:7E:3D:04
Please advise.

That does work but it only imports 1 computer (the last in my list).
Import-CMComputerInformation -CollectionName "All Systems" -FileName "c:\computers2.csv" -EnableColumnHeadings $True -verbose
csv

Import data from csv to SQL database

How to Import data from csv to SQL database through BLS-xMII?

Hi,
if you using Oracle, you may also use the bulk insert with MII. You can use the String List to XML parser to convert your CSV to XML, and then use a query that calls a stored procedure which does the bulk insert.
Also have a look at thread [read XML file into stored procedure|http://forums.sdn.sap.com/click.jspa?searchID=63850236&messageID=7455643].

How to import data from CSV file with columns separated by semicolon?

I migrate database from MS SQL 2008 to ORACLE 11g
I export data to CSV file from MS SQL
then I try to import it to Oracle
several tables goes fine using Import data option in the SQL Developer
Standard CSV files with data separated by comma were imported.
chars, date (with format string), and integer data are imported via import wizard without problems
the problems were when I try to import table with noninteger numbers with modal part separated by comma not by dot
comma is the standard separator for columns in CSV file
so I must change the standard separator to semicolon
then the import wizard have problem to correct recognize the columns data because it use only standard CSV comma separator :-/
In SQL Developer 1.5.3 Tools -> Preferences -> Migration -> Data Move Options
I change "End of Column Delimiter" to ; but it doens't work
Is this possible to change the standard column separator for import data wizzard in SQL Developer 1.5.3?
Or maybe someone know how to import data in SQL Developer 1.5.3 from CSV when CSV colunn separator is set to semicolon?

A new preference has been added to customize the import delimiter in main code line. This should be available as part of future release.

Script to import contacts from CSV file into Address Book

Hi,
I am wondering if it would be possible to import contacts from a CSV file into a group in Address Book using applescript, and if so, if anyone is aware of a script that does this or something similar.
I have a CSV file with three columns 'First Name', 'Last Name' and 'Email Address'. I would like these to correspond with 'First', 'Last' and (Work) 'Email' in Address Book.
Ideally the script would also check to see if entries already exist for the people being imported, but this is less crucial.
Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Nick

Hi,
Test this on a very small csv file (four or five contacts) to see if it works for you. It will not de-duplicate. You don't give the name of the group, so you'll need to replace Name of group in the second line with your group name, enclosed in double quotes.
--begin script
set the_people to read (choose file with prompt "Choose your CSV file")
set the_group to "Name of group"
set old_tids to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ","
set par_count to (count paragraphs in the_people)
repeat with x from 1 to par_count
          set next_par to paragraph x of the_people
          set first_name to text item 1 of next_par
          set last_name to text item 2 of next_par
          set e_mail to text item 3 of next_par
          tell application "Address Book"
                    set nu_person to make new person with properties {first name:first_name, last name:last_name}
make new email at end of emails of nu_person with properties {label:"Work", value:e_mail}
                    add nu_person to group the_group
save
          end tell
end repeat
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to old_tids
--end script
Watch out for bad line breaks in the lines beginning "set nu_person..." and "make new email..."

BUG 3.0/3.1 Import data from CSV in non english local

Hello,
I have 3.0 on a German XP (NLS Decimal "," and Group ".") but with
AddVMOption -Duser.language=en
because of bug 9231534
I try to import data from a delimited file that contains the number "123,23"
When I use the Import Data Wizard it generates an insert with "12323.0". This import works, but gives me the wrong values, 12323 instead of 123,23.
I have 3.1 with german UI and try the same import.
It generates a correct insert "123.23", but on executing it fails, because it expects the german decimal separator, this is wrong for two reasons:
The generated script has a dot as decimal separator and it would not make sense to use a comma, because this is the value separator in an insert script.
To execute the script it should use the same NLS-Setting as for generating.
Regards
Marcus

Hello,
has anybody found a solution?
Testcase: SQL Developer 3.1 on a German XP with default NLS Settings
CREATE TABLE "TEST_TABLE"
       "NUM" NUMBER
      ,"VCH" VARCHAR2(10 BYTE)
    ) ;Test file test_insert.dsv
num;vch
1;KL
1,5;tz
12345,45;ooImporting using the wizard inserts the first row correctly, for the others I get
SET DEFINE OFF
--EinfÃ¼gen fÃ¼r Zeilen 1 bis 3 nicht erfolgreich
--ORA-01722: invalid number
--Zeile 2
INSERT INTO TEST_TABLE (NUM, VCH) VALUES (1.5,'tz');
--Zeile 3
INSERT INTO TEST_TABLE (NUM, VCH) VALUES (12345.45,'oo');Beside the wrong umlaut in the message the insert statement itself is correct, because you cannot use the german decimal separator "," in the script. The bug is, that it should use the same NLS settings for generating and running the script.

Problem Importing Contacts from CSV to Outlook 365 Home Premium

I have exported contacts from gmail to Outlook CSV format, unable to import to Outlook 365. Error suggests:
There was a problem importing your contacts.
Phone numbers and websites can only contain English characters (a-z or A-Z), numbers (0-9), and specific symbols (such as @). Please try again.
I exported from Outlook 365 a CSV file and column by column copy/value pasted the data from the gmail generated file to the Outlook 365 (People) CSV and saved. I also searched for any such vaguely referenced trouble spot character and removed anything
that feel out of description (I didn't find anything obvious)
characters left in place on emails were (underscore _), characters left in several phone numbers were (comma's , (pause prompts)). I may have a phone number or 2 that also contain the English character "x".
Please help

Hi,
Make sure you exported the Gmail contacts as Outlook CSV format.
In addition, you can also try exporting the contacts as the vCard format, test if it can be imported into Outlook properly.
If you deleted the column of phone, import the contacts into Outlook, will the same error show up?
If you have an Outlook.com account, you can try import the contacts to Outlook.com, create the Outlook.com account in Outlook, after the contacts sync completes, move the contacts to the target account.

Importing Contacts from CSV without MS Outlook/Lot...

I have PC Suite 7.0.8.2 running on WinXP Sp3 and have contacts in a spreadsheet that I need to import to my N95 software version 20.0.015. PC Suite Contacts (PCSC) is version 1.0
If I save the spreadsheet data as a CSV, Unicode (or any other translation come to that) and attempt to import it via PCSC then Contacts "GPF"s and closes.
If I export current phone contacts to a CSV file then I can re-import this file without problem. This exported file is reported by other applications such as Notepad and Open Office as being in Unicode format - hence my use of that format.
Looking at my generated CSV and the one from PCSC the difference would seem to be quote marks. So I have tried making every element have a set of quote marks as the PCSC file has. Also setting the last element to each line to be a set of quote marks ("") as in the PCSC file. Or removing all "empty" elements at the end of a line as in the PCSC file. But still when attempting to import the file PCSC closes with an unexpected error.
I don't have access to MS Outlook or Lotus Notes so using one of them as an intermediary is not an option. I do only need to do this once as I want my phone contacts to be the "Master" set once I've consolidated to the phone. That consolidation needs PCSC to manage to import from a CSV file though!
Any one know how to make a "personally generated" csv file acceptable to PCSC?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

So having spent a load more time attempting to do this I have, at last, managed to get the thing to work!
So for any others having issues it seems that the data checking, when it finds an error just GPFs the application rather than report what it does not like! (Nokia people can you fix that?)
All fields in the CSV should have " at the start and finish, even if nul/blank
Every line should end in "" (as the heading line does when exporting from contacts)
Phone numbers should not contain ( or ) but can contain +
File should be saved in Unicode bigendian format (Notepad in XP can do that)
Dates of Birth should be given as "YYYY-MM-DD"
Any thing that notepad shows as a square should be removed
I found that when doing the import the progress bar moved quickly to 49% then sat there until the operation was finished. It struck that the contacts were put onto the PC in the first 49% and then copied to the phone but I may be wrong about that.

How to import data from CSV files to OIM?

Hello,
We have to import some of the files which are in csv format and are placed in a specific folder hierarchy. Please help as i am not able to proceed further.
Thanks a lot!

To write custom scheduler tasks you need to write a class which extends SchedulerBaseTask class.
See this link. Re: Custom reconcilation
Also GTC flat file retrieves data from file and creates identity/account in OIM. You can use either ways to meet your requirements.

Import List Items with Managed Metadata Field from CSV File

Hello,
I try to import list items from a CSV File. Most of the fields are populating correctly except the Managed Metadata Field. I found multiple examples on how to set Managed Metadata Fields with Powersehll, but unfortunately I couldnt get it running.
The CSV File holds values for the Metadata Column, this value should be checked against the Metadata in the Termstore. If this Term is existent, then it should set the fields value, if it is not existant then it should add the term from the CSV File to the
Term Set in the Term Store. Can anybody give me a tip on how to do this? This is what I have, where Line 4 holds the Metadata:
$Siteurl = "http://siteUrl"
$Rootweb = New-Object Microsoft.Sharepoint.Spsite($Siteurl);
$Webapp = $Rootweb.Webapplication
$listName = "Catalogue"
$listWeb = Get-SPWeb $Siteurl
$list = $listWeb.Lists[$listName]
$pfad1 = "c:\temp\Servers.csv"
$content = import-csv -Delimiter ";" -Path $pfad1
foreach ($line in $content) {
$newItem = $list.Items.Add()
$newItem["Field 1"] = $line.1
$newItem["Field 2"] = $line.2
$newItem["Field 3"] = $line.3
$newItem["Field 4"] = $line.4
$newItem.Update()
write-host $line.Title imported
Thanks!!

Hi Jimmie,
From your description, when importing list from csv to SharePoint site, you would like to compare if Managed Metadata column exists in term store, and return yes value, if not, add it to term store.
That might need script to achieve. You need to import list at first, then get value from term store, and compare with the list. Change the list field per comparison result, then add new value to term store.
However, there might some workaround to meet your requirement. Not surly understand, so I find some references for you:
If you would like to export Term Set to CSV from SharePoint 2013, then you could compare it:
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/PowerShell-for-SharePoint-a838b5d0#content
If you would like to query SharePoint 2013 Managed metadata term store using JavaScript:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13858962/getting-all-the-term-stores-in-sharepoint-2010-web-services-or-client-side-obje

Trigger while importing from .csv file

hey
i am importing data from .csv file into a table called temp.
.csv file is having column sales. the data in that also contains some empty filed or N/A or -
sales coulmn in my table is NUMBER.
so while importing some column are not able to import.
how to write a trigger to eliminate '-' or 'N/A' or ' ' values from the sales column before inserting into the table

It might be easier if the field on temp was a varchar2 field instead?
The values entered should be loaded into this field and you can then use the trigger to test the values and convert these into numbers or nulls before inserting onto the proper data table.
Check out the TO_NUMBER() function in SQL for info on how to convert strings to numbers.

SQL bulk copy from csv file - Encoding

Hi Experts
This is the first time I am creating a PowerShell script and it is almost working. I just have some problems with the actual bulk import to SQL encoding from the text file since it replaces
special characters with a question mark. I have set the encoding when creating the csv file but that does not seem to reflect on the actual bulk import. I have tried difference scenarios with the encoding part but I cannot find the proper solution for that.
To shortly outline what the script does:
Connect to Active Directory fetching all user - but excluding users in specific OU's
Export all users to a csv in unicode encoding
Strip double quote text identifiers (if there is another way of handling that it will be much appreciated)
Clear all records temporary SQL table
Import records from csv file to temporary SQL table (this is where the encoding is wrong)
Update existing records in another table based on the records in the temporary table and insert new record if not found.
The script looks as the following (any suggestions for optimizing the script are very welcome):
# CSV file variables
$path = Split-Path -parent "C:\Temp\ExportADUsers\*.*"
$filename = "AD_Users.csv"
$csvfile = $path + "\" + $filename

I can see that the Export-CSV exports into ANSI though the encoding has been set to UNICODE. Thanks for leading me in the right direction.
No - it exports as Unicode if set to.
Your export was wrong and is exporting nothing. Look closely at your code:
THis line exports nothing in Unicode"
Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation $csvfile -Encoding Unicode -Delimiter $csvdelimiter
There is no input object.
This line converts any file to ansi
(Get-Content $csvfile) | foreach {$_ -replace '"'} | Set-Content $csvfile
Set-Content defaults to ANSI so the output file is converted.
Since you are just dumping into a table by manually building a recorset why not just go direct. You do not need a CSV. Just dump theresults of the query to a datatable.
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/4208a159-a52e-4b99-83d4-8048468d29dd
This script dumps to a datatable object which can now be used directly in a bulkcopy.
Here is an example of how easy this is using your script:
$AllADUsers = Get-ADUser -server $ADServer -searchbase $searchbase -Filter * -Properties GivenName,SN,EmployeeID,objectGUID |
Where{
$_.DistinguishedName -notmatch 'OU=MeetingRooms,OU=Users,DC=fabrikam,DC=com'
-and $_.DistinguishedName -notmatch 'OU=FunctionalMailbox,OU=Users,DC=fabrikam,DC=com'
} |
Select-Object @{N='UNID';E={$_.objectGuid}},
@{N='FirstName';Expression = {$_.GivenName}},
@{N='LastName';Expression = {$_.sn}},
@{N=/EmployeeNo;Expression = {$_.EmployeeID}} |
Out-DataTable
$AllDUsers is now a datatable. You can just upload it.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
