Thanks. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I am getting the following error when I run the cmdlets:<br />
<br />
Get-ADUser : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'eq'.<br />
At line:1 char:64<br />
+ foreach ($user in $users){get-aduser -filter samaccountname -eq &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&nbsp; $user.samaccountname |set-aduser -Surname $use<br />
.surname - GivenName $user.givenname -OfficePhone $user.telephonenumber<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; + CategoryInfo &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;: InvalidArgument: (:) [Get-ADUser], ParameterBindingException<br />

<br />
Also, would you please let me know what exactly should the content of my CSV file contain?<br />
<br />
Currently, it is like this:<br />
<br />
jsmith John Smith 213-334-5566<br />
mjane Mary Jane 213-223-4455<br />
mmecay Mike Meccay 208-334-5566<br />
...

<div>
Sorry. Let me try that again.<br />
<br />
Thanks for your feedback.

Since my solution works, and the other one does not and is overly complicated, I would have expected to receive at least the majority of points.

I have a big CSV file which contains rows and rows of information like the following:<br />
<br />
Samaccountname, givenname, surname, telephonenumber, mail.<br />

Please advise a PS cmdlet that reads the CSV file and update user attribute fields in AD.<br />
<br />
Thanks.
