Just want to verify that I am understanding the syntax changes, say I want to update the description, telephone, and office, the syntax for the lower half would read as follows;
Import-CSV $Csv | ForEach-Object {
Set-QADUser $_.DN -Description $_.description -Telephone $_.telephoneNumber -Office $_.physicalDeliveryOfficeN
}

It'll be fine with that, yes.
The documentation for the CmdLet has it use PhoneNumber in place of Telephone:
Import-CSV $Csv | ForEach-Object {
Set-QADUser $_.DN -Description $_.description -PhoneNumber $_.telephoneNumber -Office $_.physicalDeliveryOfficeName
}

Ran into a hiccup, was returned the following error:
When I converted the file to '.csv' I did receive an error message, but didn't think anything of it till now. I attached the error message file via picture. I am using Microsoft Excel 2010

You need some line breaks in there, are you trying to put it all on one line? PS will be quite happy spreading things out.
$OuDomain = "dc=local,dc=testserver,dc=com"
$Csv = "c:\importfile.csv"
Import-CSV $Csv | ForEach-Object {
Set-QADUser $_.DN -Description $_.description -PhoneNumber $_.telephoneNumber -Office $_.physicalDeliveryOfficeName
}
Import-CSV "c:\importfile.csv"
I have bad luck apparently.

The term 'Set-QADUser' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, scr
ipt 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.

Ahh not really :)
You either need to install these:
http://www.quest.com/powershell/activeroles-server.aspx
Or if you already did, you need to run this command first of all:
Add-PsSnapIn Quest.ActiveRoles.ADManage
That'll load the command and should let you execute the rest.
