Been trying all day to import my CSV file to my AD on Windows Server 2012.
But keep getting all kind of errors.
The error I get is this:
"New-ADUser : Cannot validate argument on parameter 'Name'. The argument is null
or empty. Provide an argument that is n ot null or empty, and then try the
command again.
At line:3 char:90

+ ~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidData: (:) [New-ADUser], ParameterBindingValidationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ParameterArgumentValidationError,Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.Commands.NewADUsery
Can't seem to find any solution to this, so some help would be great. Here is my files.
This is my script:
Import-Csv .\nb1.csv | ForEach-Object {
$userprincipalname = $_.SamAccountName + "#hirethistire.local"
New-ADUser -SamAccountName $_.SamAccountName -UserPrincipalName $userprincipalname -Name $_.name -DisplayName $_.name -GivenName $_.cn -SurName $_.sn -Department $_.Department -Path "CN_Users,DC=HireThisTire,DC=local"-AccountPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString "Microsoft~1;" -AsPlainText -force) -Enabled $true -PasswordNeverExpires $true -PassThru
}

I have spent a bit of time researching how to convert Json to a CSV file using powershell but am failing to have it complete properly. Below is the syntax I have created:
$pathToOutputFile = "C:\OrderLinQ\TESTING\IN\CatalogsRetrieved\test.txt"
$pathToJsonFile = "C:\OrderLinQ\TESTING\IN\CatalogsRetrieved\test.json"
Get-Content -Path $pathToJsonFile |
ConvertFrom-Json |
ConvertTo-Csv -NoTypeInformation |
Set-Content $pathToOutputFile
However, when I attempt to execute this, I get an argument exception error:
ConvertFrom-Json : Invalid array passed in, ']' expected. (1): [
At line:1 char:69

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [ConvertFrom-Json], ArgumentException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.ArgumentException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ConvertFromJsonCommand
Any thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong? I've verified my file using JSONLint and it shows verified. Example file can be found at https://api.myjson.com/bins/mo59w. Any help is appreciated!
Try this. I've also attached the output
$pathToOutputFile = "D:\output.csv"
$pathToJsonFile = "D:\test.json"
$json = Get-Content -Path $pathToJsonFile
function ConvertFrom-JsonToCsv {
param(
[Parameter(ValueFromPipeline)]
$json
)
Process {
($json | ConvertFrom-Json) | ConvertTo-Csv -NoTypeInformation
}
}
ConvertFrom-JsonToCsv $json | Set-Content $pathToOutputFile
Output
So I have the following script I am trying to run which keeps erroring out
. .\stshortcut.ps1 |
Get-Shortcut . |
Where Target -eq "cmd.exe" |
%{$myPath, $myNewName = $null;
Write-Warning "Processing $($_.Link)";
If (-Not (Test-Path .\BadShortcuts -PathType Container)) {New-Item -
WhatIf -ItemType Directory BadShortcuts | Out-Null};
[string]$myPath = $_.Arguments.Split()[-1] -replace '"';
[string]$myNewName = $_.Link -replace "\.lnk$";
Rename-Item -WhatIf -Force -Path $myPath -NewName $myNewName;
(Get-Item -Force $myNewName).Attributes = '';
Move-Item -WhatIf $_.LinkPath .\BadShortcuts;}`
the error I get is as follows
The term 'Get-Shortcut' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet,
function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the
name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try
again.
At C:\Shared\APPS\FixShortcutX2.ps1:1 Char 13
+ Get Shortcut <<<<< . |
+ CategoryInfor : ObjectNotFound: (Get-Shortcut:String)[],

the stshortcut.ps1 script has the get-shortcut and set-shortcut functions and are called to do such - I got this script from
https://www.reddit.com/r/PowerShell/comments/4su2jg/zeroday_malware_renamed_folders_on_a_shared_drive/
which is an answer script to fix a macro virus from a word doc attachment - sent from a spoofed email address -
Any assistance is GREATLY appreciated
EDITx2 after some further helpful advice and editing I now am receiving the following
Where-Object : Cannot bind parameter 'FilterScript' . Cannot convert the "Target" value of type "System.String" to type "System.Management.Automation.ScriptBlock".

You need to dot-source stshortcut.ps1 before you can use Get-Shortcut.
Change the first line:
.\stshortcut.ps1 |
To
. .\stshortcut.ps1
I'm running into an error where this is not picking up the password field at all... I ran the import command manually to make sure it was grabbing all of the correct data, but it errors out on the password and group info...
$Users = Import-Csv -Path "C:\NewUsers.csv"
foreach ($User in $Users)
{
$Displayname = $User.'Firstname' + " " + $User.'Lastname'
$UserFirstname = $User.'Firstname'
$UserLastname = $User.'Lastname'
$OU = $User.'OU'
$SAM = $User.'SAM'
$UPN = $User.'Firstname' + "." + $User.'Lastname' + "#" + $User.'Maildomain'
$Password = $User.'Password'
$Description = $User.'Description'
$Group = $User.'Group'
$Account = New-ADUser -Name "$Displayname" -DisplayName "$Displayname" -SamAccountName $SAM -UserPrincipalName $UPN -GivenName "$UserFirstname" -Surname "$UserLastname" -Description "$Description" -AccountPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString $Password -AsPlainText -Force) -Enabled $true -Path "$OU" -ChangePasswordAtLogon $false -PasswordNeverExpires $true -server esg.intl -PassThru
Add-ADGroupMember -Identity $Group -Members $Account
}
And here are the errors I'm getting even though I know the passwords are ok:
New-ADUser : The password does not meet the length, complexity, or history requirement of the domain.

Depending on how that CSV is generated you might try double checking that there isn't an extra space in the Password column header? i.e. 'Password '. Sometimes that trips me up because it doesn't show in the excel or cmd line view easily.
I found the problem and answer. Apparently our domain has an issue when part of the username is in the password. I misunderstood that error thinking that the conversion is what was causing the issue...
I fixed the passwords and now the script runs beautifully!
I want to add the profile pictures of the exchange to our users in Active Directory.
I tried to do this in Powershell, but cause I'm pretty new to Powershell i'm already stucking.
My Script:
$Name = #()
$Photo = #()
Import-Csv C:\temp\adusers.csv |
ForEach-Object {
$Name += $_.DisplayName
}
Import-Csv C:\temp\photolinks.csv |
ForEach-Object {
$Photo += $_.PSChildName
}
$Name | ForEach-Object {
Where $Photo -Like "*$Name*" {
Set-UserPhoto "$Name" -PictureData ([System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes("F:\1 path\" + $Photo))
}
}
I created a ps script to get all our AD Users before and I created a list of our userphotos with gci before as well. I exported those results in a csv and I now want to import thos data and tell Powershell add for every User in the List adusers a photo with Set-UserPhoto.
The error message I got is the following:
Where-Object : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'System.Object[]'.
At C:\Users\user1\Desktop\setuserphoto.ps1:14 char:13

Can anyone help me here?
