Set "Department" field for over 200 Contacts using Powershell
Experts-
I am currently running a powershell command to import a bulk list of contacts:
=============
$CSV=Import-Csv "C:\contacts\powershellCon
foreach ($line in $CSV)
{
New-MailContact -Name $line.displayName -DisplayName $line.displayName -ExternalEmailAddress $line.emailAddress -LastName $line.sn -FirstName $line.givenName -Alias $line.alias1 -OrganizationalUnit "Finance"
}
=============
However, it does not set all the proper fields.
Is there a way to modify the "Department" field for all these contacts? I tried adding "-Department" but it did not work as it is not a valid argument. I also tried selecting the contacts in Active Directory to see if I could modify it through there, but there were no options to do this. I have over 200 contacts. Is there an easy way to do this?
