Hello,
I am working on a script to import users into AD from a CSV file via PowerShell. Now the following code works:
$OuDomain = "OU=Teachers,OU=Staff,OU=A
$Csv = "c:\importfile.csv"
# Update details. Add/remove depending on which details to update.
import-csv $Csv | where {new-QADUser -ParentContainer $OuDomain -name $_.name -sAMAccountName $_.sAMAccountName -description $_.description -givenName $_.givenName -SN $_.SN -displayName $_.displayName; enable-QADUser $_.name }
However, when I add the "ProfilePath" attribute, an error is thrown on the console " A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'ProfilePath'"
code:
$OuDomain = "OU=Teachers,OU=Staff,OU=A
$Csv = "c:\importfile.csv"
# Update details. Add/remove depending on which details to update.
import-csv $Csv | where {new-QADUser -ParentContainer $OuDomain -name $_.name -sAMAccountName $_.sAMAccountName -description $_.description -givenName $_.givenName -SN $_.SN -displayName $_.displayName -ProfilePath $_.ProfilePath; enable-QADUser $_.name }
The CSV file contains all the correct headers and does not contain any empty details/columns etc, as I know that can sometimes cause an error. Any ideas?

I have to agree on the Where oddity, ForEach-Object would be more appropriate.
Anyway, the error message explains it. New-QADUser does not have a parameter called ProfilePath, you can't set it like that. You can set it by feeding it in using ObjectAttributes though (see below).

Can you to create one test user from your CSV without the "profilepath" ? For some odd reason I also think if I did what you are doing, I would replace the "where" with "foreach".
