Hello TDJNL2006,

To change attribute for Active Directory objects you should use Set-ADObject cmdlet.

Once you get users then loop trough the collection and set required attribute:

$AllUsers=Get-ADUser -Filter *

foreach ($u in $AllUsers){
    Set-ADObject -Identity $u.DistinguishedName -replace @{preferredLanguage="nl-NL"}
}

Hope that helps.
