edit mobile phone number in office 365
Dear Experts,
I have a weird scenario, we imported lot of users in Office 365 (no dir sync) & after the import realised that many of the mobile phones are having a space in the number like: + 1 43 343 5433
The problem is with the space between + & 1st number only, rest of the space should be as it is, so the correct format would be: +1 43 343 5433
I would like to someone to help me with Powershell to find all users who have this space after + & then trim it.
I know I can export & then reimport with csv, but would prefer something with powershell so I can do it without csv.
Thanks in advance for your help!

A

Have you changed the number from the Active Directory Users & Computers console instead ?
ASKER
No, they were imported via excel

I've found the regular expression as -Replace "(^\+(\s)1)", "+1"
This works to trim the space, but I have to make sure that I can get it to change the user mobile phone attribute.

If you have a list of users to update, you can use following code..
GC C:\User.txt | Get-User | %{Set-User $_.SamAccountName -MobilePhone ($_.MobilePhone -Replace "^\+\s+1","+1")}
User.txt format..UserA
UserB
UserC

Thanks,
I don't want to use the list...
Can it be directory done in powershell?
I can filter the users who's numbers are wrong
Get-MsolUser | where {$_.MobilePhone -Like "+ 1*"} | ft DisplayName, MobilePhone -AutoSize
This shows all users who's numbers are not correct.
Question is how do I put this into variable to apply regex?

Try..
Get-MsolUser | where {$_.MobilePhone -Like "+ 1*"} | %{Set-MsolUser $_.SamAccountName -MobilePhone ($_.MobilePhone -Replace "^\+\s+1","+1")}
ASKER
DAMN.... it delete the mobile number completely
If should not delete if the Get-MsolUser | where {$_.MobilePhone -Like "+ 1*"} | ft DisplayName, MobilePhone command lists the mobile number..
ASKER
well, i ran it for one user only because i didn't want to take risk, this is what I ran:
get-msoluser -UserPrincipalName abc@xyz.com | set-msoluser -MobilePhone ($_.MobilePhone -Replace "^\+\s+1","+1")
After this command when i tried to see the value for user, it was empty for mobile phone
get-msoluser -UserPrincipalName abc@xyz.com | set-msoluser -MobilePhone ($_.MobilePhone -Replace "^\+\s+1","+1")
After this command when i tried to see the value for user, it was empty for mobile phone
:-) That will not work, because you are not using foreach command, so value of $_.MobilePhone would be null..
For single user try..
For single user try..
Get-msoluser -UserPrincipalName abc@xyz.com | %{Set-msoluser $_.UserPrincipalName -MobilePhone ($_.MobilePhone -Replace "^\+\s+1","+1")}
ASKER
it gives error, A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument "abc@xyz.com"
Get-msoluser -UserPrincipalName abc@xyz.com | %{Set-msoluser -UserPrincipalName $_.UserPrincipalName -MobilePhone ($_.MobilePhone -Replace "^\+\s+1","+1")}
ASKER
Now it works!!!
Should I run the previous command you gave for all users or do you want to check?
Because it will run for all the users???
