Can Set-QADUser set all properties?

  • 772

I'm using the Quest commandlets for a very simple and straightforward update but it's not working. No errors, it just fails to change the value:

Set-QADUser ttest -ObjectAttributes @{office="ABQ"}

Can't get much simpler - what am I doing wrong? both of these work fine:

Set-QADUser ttest -objectAttributes @{otherTelephone=@('555-34-67','555-34-68')}
Set-QADUser ttest -objectAttributes @{otherTelephone=''}

but this does not:

Set-QADUser ttest -objectAttributes @{extensionattribute2="test"}
powershell active-directory

    Check the actual name of the attribute in Active Directory. The "office" attribute doesn't exist. I believe you want physicalDeliveryOfficeName. Be sure to -IncludeAllProperties when querying a user object to get the extensionAttribute2.

    Use ADSIEdit to get a list of AD user properties.

  2. try this:

    Set-QADUser ttest -objectAttributes @{extensionattribute2='"test"'}

    it worked for me.
