Bulk update Azure AD with user attributes from CSV

I am looking for a way to update user attributes (OfficePhone and Department) for about 500 users from a CSV to AzureAD using a powershell. Does anyone know of a script that I could use? I am new her...

azure active directory

Hello Jacob,

Your CSV has to look something like this:

UserPrincipalName;Department;TelephoneNumber
manfreddelaat@domain.nl;IT;0135113333
manfred@domain.nl;IT;0622222222

Your Powershell code:

# Connect to AzureAD
Connect-AzureAD

# Get CSV content
$CSVrecords = Import-Csv C:\Temp\Test.csv -Delimiter ";"

# Create arrays for skipped and failed users
$SkippedUsers = @()
$FailedUsers = @()

# Loop trough CSV records
foreach ($CSVrecord in $CSVrecords) {
    $upn = $CSVrecord.UserPrincipalName
    $user = Get-AzureADUser -Filter "userPrincipalName eq '$upn'"  
    if ($user) {
        try{
        $user | Set-AzureADUser -Department $CSVrecord.Department -TelephoneNumber $CSVrecord.TelephoneNumber
        } catch {
        $FailedUsers += $upn
        Write-Warning "$upn user found, but FAILED to update."
        }
    }
    else {
        Write-Warning "$upn not found, skipped"
        $SkippedUsers += $upn
    }
}

# Array skipped users
# $SkippedUsers

# Array failed users
# $FailedUsers

Good luck!

Kind Regards, Manfred de Laat

Try a csv with UserPrincipalName, Manager where both are UPNs. The UserPrincipalName for the user whom you want to assign a manager and under the manager the UPN of the manager

Thanks for the quick response, but I run into mistakes. My CSV is structured as follows:

UserPrincipalName,"ManagerName"
<Username.username>#EXT#@<domain>,"<Managername>, <Managersurname>"
<username.username>@<domain2>,"<Managername>, <Managersurname>"
...

$CSVrecords = Import-Csv test.csv -Delimiter ","
foreach ($CSVrecord in $CSVrecords) {
$usr = $CSVrecord.UserPrincipalName
$manager = $CSVrecord.Manager
$user = Get-AzureADUser -Filter "userPrincipalName eq '$usr'"
$Managerobj = Get-AzureADUser -Filter "userprincipalname eq '$manager'"
if ($user) {
 try{
 $user | Set-AzureADUserManager -RefObjectid $Managerobj.objectid
} catch {
   $FailedUsers += $usr
Write-Warning "$usr user found, but FAILED to update."
  }
 }
  else {
   Write-Warning "$usr not found, skipped"
$SkippedUsers += $usr
  }
 }

Jacob John could you please write out the script in full. It's a bit confusing the way you put it. I am unable to correctly update User Manager. Thanks,

The appropriate command is set-azureadusermanager
you will need the azureAD objectid of the manager, which we will have to first call. So this script will not work as is.
$user=$CSVrecord.UserPrinicipalName
$Manager= $CSVrecord.Manager
$ManagerObj=Get-AzureADUser -Objectid $Manager
Set-AzureADUserManager -ObjectId $User -RefObjectId $ManagerObj.ObjectId

In your specific instance, it may be simple to populate the csv with the objectid of the single manager or the script with the objectid as only one manager exists.

There are no spaces in the CSV. I've modified the script a bunch of times in order to update all the fields for my 1500 users, which worked flawlessly. The manager piece is what I am having a challenge with.

I already have the AzureAD module installed. I've already updated all the other fields with no issues.

Going back to the documentation for Set-AzureADUser (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/azuread/set-azureaduser?view=azureadps-2.0) I do not see "Manager" listed as a parameter.

The Azure_manager.csv file contains userprincipalname;manager

# Connect to AzureAD
Connect-AzureAD

# Get CSV content
$CSVrecords = Import-Csv C:\Users\k4rna\Desktop\azureinfocorrection\azure_manager.csv -Delimiter ";"

# Create arrays for skipped and failed users
$SkippedUsers = @()
$FailedUsers = @()

# Loop trough CSV records
foreach ($CSVrecord in $CSVrecords) {
    $upn = $CSVrecord.UserPrincipalName
    $user = Get-AzureADUser -Filter "userPrincipalName eq '$upn'"
    if ($user) {
        try{
        $user | Set-AzureADUser -Manager $CSVrecord.Manager
        } catch {
        $FailedUsers += $upn
        Write-Warning "$upn user found, but FAILED to update."
        }
    }
    else {
        Write-Warning "$upn not found, skipped"
        $SkippedUsers += $upn
    }
}

# Array skipped users
# $SkippedUsers

# Array failed users
