Move records from one attribute to another
Hi all, I need to move the records from employeeNumber field to the employeeID field. I would like to run test on one single user and then on whole OU. Is this doable and how? I'm still learning,...
Yes, everything is doable in PowerShell
You will get ADUser with the employeeNumber and then set it to the employeeID$UserName="User1" Set-ADUser -id $UserName -Replace @{EmployeeID=(Get-ADUser $UserName -Properties employeenumber).EmployeeNumber}
Thank you! farismalaeb
It copies the record from EmployeeID field to EmployeeNumber field but it doesn't remove it from EmployeeID. Can I run -Remove with the same script?
Got it! 🙂
$UserName="User1"
Set-ADUser -id $UserName -Replace @{EmployeeID=(Get-ADUser $UserName -Properties employeenumber).EmployeeNumber}
Set-ADUser -id $UserName -EmployeeNumber $null
$UserName="User1"
Set-ADUser -id $UserName -Replace @{EmployeeID=(Get-ADUser $UserName -Properties employeenumber).EmployeeNumber}
Set-ADUser -id $UserName -EmployeeNumber $null
