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...

Hello Jacob,
Your CSV has to look something like this:
UserPrincipalName;Department;TelephoneNumber
manfreddelaat@domain.nl;IT;0135113333
manfred@domain.nl;IT;0622222222Your 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

Manfred101 This worked great!
One think im stuggling with, is the user doesnt get updated when one of the properties is empty? is there a way around that? i.e. the mobile number for that user is empty in the csv most of the update for that user fails.

esfitzI got around this by entering a - (dash) into blank fields. Otherwise, you are right, the script will stop there.
