Unable to update custom attribute in AD with powershell
Hi EE
The script below works but when I replace StreetAddress with " custom-attribute1" and update the CSV file with custom-attribute1 as the header ..it does not update it .. I receive the error below .
At C:\PS\UpdateFieldTest.ps1:4 char:15
+ $ID = $_.custom-attribute1
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unexpected token '-attribute1' in expression or statement.
+ CategoryInfo : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException

That is because of the dash, which is not allowed as part of names by default. Such a names can brew enclosed in single or double quotes or curly braces.
But that is only half the rent. You need to use a different syntax to set that attribute.
I still had an issue with my csv with the dash in the attribute name , so I just modified the header on the sheet and the script to not have a dash and it worked .. thank you much .
