Running MSOL commands against a list lof users from csv.

Question

Hi All, I was kindly helped here
with a similar issue only the solution doesn't seem to work for the Get-MSolUser commands:
What I am trying to achieve is to set the users -UsageLocation to GB and then to Set-MSolUserLicense to our Enterprise. So for example I have a list of UPN for our UK users in a csv:
UserPrincipalName
[email protected]
[email protected]
Here is what I have tried just to run a Get command first against the csv:
Import-CSV "C:\emails.csv" | %{Get-MSolUser -identity $_.UserPrincipleName | fl}
Which gives me this error:
Import-CSV "C:\emails.csv" | %{Get-MSolUser -identity $_.UserPrincipleName | fl}
+                                            
~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [Get-MsolUser], ParameterBindingException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,Microsoft.Online.Administration.Automation.GetUser
I can confirm that if I run this command
Get-MSolUser -All -UnlicensedUsersOnly | FT UserPrincipalName,DisplayName,IsLicensed,UsageLocation
I do get a list of all users who are unlicensed.
Any help on where I am going wrong would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Fred, that looks a lot better:
Does this look correct to you?
Import-CSV"C:\emails.csv"|%{Get-MSolUser-SearchString$_.UserPrincipleName
|Set-MsolUser-UsageLocationGB
Or do I need to define a ForEach -Object?
