Answer 1

This is an powershell example to create AD users from SQL Server.
The Powershell cmdlet Set-ADUser will update the AD User fields.
$SQLText = "SELECT e.BusinessEntityID, p.Title, p.FirstName, p.MiddleName, p.LastName, p.Suffix, "+
"e.JobTitle, d.Name AS Department, d.GroupName, edh.StartDate, e.LoginID"+
" FROM HumanResources.Employee AS e"+
" INNER JOIN Person.Person AS p ON p.BusinessEntityID = e.BusinessEntityID"+
" INNER JOIN HumanResources.EmployeeDepartmentHistory AS edh ON e.BusinessEntityID = edh.BusinessEntityID"+
" INNER JOIN HumanResources.Department AS d ON edh.DepartmentID = d.DepartmentID"+
" WHERE (edh.EndDate IS NULL)"+
" AND (p.FirstName ='Brian')"
$SqlCon = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
$SqlCon.ConnectionString = "Server=localhost;Database=AdventureWorks2012;Trusted_Connection=yes;;"
$SqlCon.Open()
$SqlCmd = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
$SqlCmd.Connection = $SqlCon
$SqlCmd = $SqlCon.CreateCommand()
$SQLCmd.CommandText = $SQLText
$Result = $SQLCmd.ExecuteReader()
$Table = New-Object System.Data.DataTable
$table.Load($Result)
$SqlCon.Close()
$Password = "P@assword1"
foreach($Item in $Table)
$newUserID=@{
Name=$item.FirstName+$Item.LastName
