Importing Mac addresses as users into Active Directory

How you name your CSV headers is up to you, and has absolutely no effect but as how the properties of the dynamic objects created from the CSV are named. For easier access I recommend not to use spaces and special characters.

BUT, if you name the CSV headers exactly as the parameters to New-ADUser (Name, GivenName, Display etc., see help of New-ADUser), you are able to just pipe the CSV into the cmdlet:

import-csv ThisIsMyFile.csv | New-ADUser

Select all Open in new window

and that is probably what you are asking for. If you name the headers differently, you will need to process the CSV:

import-csv ThisIsMyFile.csv | % { New-ADUser -DisplayName $_.DisplayName -GivenName $_.LastName <# aso. #> }

Select all Open in new window
