hi guys,

can somebody provide how to reset passwrod and rename user in active directory using powershell in bulk?

Using Quest cmdlets for Active Directory:

 

Get-QADUser user1 | Set-QADUser -UserPassword 'P@ssw0rd' | Rename-QADObject -NewName 'new name'

 

You can download the cmdlets for free here:

thanks m8,

for the completed task I have to create *.csv with this following header :

• User
• Password
• NewName

then execute this cmdlets :

• $Users = Import-CSV csvfiles.csv
• $Users | Foreach {Get-QADuser -Identity $_.User | Set-QADUser -UserPassword | Rename-QADObject -NewName $_.NewName

Import-CSV csvfiles.csv | Foreach-Object{
    
    $user = Get-QADuser -Identity $_.User
    
    if($user)
    {
        $user | Set-QADUser -UserPassword $_.Password | Rename-QADObject -NewName $_.NewName
    }
    else
    {
        Write-Warning "Can't find user: $($_.User)"
    }
}

So I need this to change the password only.

I've modifiled the script it as follows:

$Users = Import-CSV c:\ps_scripts\naconda1.csv

Foreach ($User in $Users)

{

Set-QADUser $User.UPN -UserPassword $user.Password `

-PasswordNeverExpires $true `

-UserMustChangePassword $false `

}

My csv looks like: UserName,UPN,Password "Nocona Test",nocona.test@domain.com,"P4ssw0rd!" The script runs with out returning errors however the password is not changed.  What am I missing?

You have one too many line continuation characters (the backtick, "`"). Remove the backtick from the line:

-UserMustChangePassword $false

 

Removed backtick, no change.  script still runs without error but does not change password.

I have added write $user.password as a test and it does not return the password.

 

Thanks for your assistance.

The following worked for me, where my file c:\Scripts\Users.csv is identical to what you specified (with the 3 fields, UserName, UPN, and Password):

 

$Users = Import-CSV c:\Scripts\Users.csv

Foreach ($User in $Users)
{
    $User.UPN
    $User.Password
}

 

I've tried this format but the script does not run and it does not return to the PS prompt. Its as if the ActiveRoles Management Shell is looking for more input. Here is what I have. 

 

 

Import-CSV c:\Scripts\passwordreset.csv | Foreach-Object{

 

    $user = Get-QADuser -Identity $_.Username 

 

    if($username)

    {

        $username | Set-QADUser -UserPassword $_.Password 

    }

    else

    {

        Write-Warning "Can't find user: $($_.Username)"

    }

}

Here is what I get when I run the script. 

[PS] C:\Users\jcochran>Import-CSV c:\Scripts\passwordreset.csv | Foreach-Object{

>>

>>     $user = Get-QADuser -Identity $_.Username

>>

>>     if($username)

>>     {

>>         $username | Set-QADUser -UserPassword $_.Password

>>     }

>>     else

>>     {

>>         Write-Warning "Can't find user: $($_.Username)"

>>     }

>> }

Thats ok I've found what I needed...

 

Thats OK I got what I needed!

[PS] C:\Users\jcochran>Import-Csv c:\scripts\passwordreset.csv | foreach {Set-QADUser -Identity $_.username -UserPasswor

d $_.password -PasswordNeverExpires $true -UserMustChangePassword $false}

I want to change passwords but do it by OU.  What would the script look like in this case?

thanks 

Hello Kris,

I have a requirement here to set different passwords for different users in a domain and i have formulated a script as below by looking at the content in this page. Am very new to powershell so need assistance. Thankyou for your time

Import-csv C:\Users\m0137533\Desktop\Users1.csv | Foreach-object{get-qaduser -identity ten\$_.id | set-qaduser -userpassword $_.link -PasswordNeverExpires $false -UserMustChangePassword $false}

This command does not return error but returns to the command prompt 

#here ten is the domain of the users

When i go to the Qwest active roles server and look at the change history of a couple of users, i dont find any change summary there.

Please assist here
