Unable to move multiple AD users to OU

I'm not an expert in Powershell, so I'm not certain of the use of 'get-content' in this case.  If you have Get-ADUser return multiple user objects, is there a reason you don't wrap the Move-ADObject in a For-EachObject?

get-content is to import / capture the input file. get-aduser works only for single user move

Can you explain how you're using Get-Content?

Get-ADUser can get as many users as you want.

Please find the below . this is how am using get-content to import multiple users move it to different OU

Import-Module ActiveDirectory
$Users = Get-Content "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\\input1.txt" | Get-ADUser $users | Move-ADObject -TargetPath "OU=disabledounew,OU,DC=test,DC=com"

Select allOpen in new window

OK, so try this:

Import-Module ActiveDirectory
Get-Content "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\\input1.txt" |%{ Get-ADUser $_ | Move-ADObject -TargetPath "OU=disabledounew,OU,DC=test,DC=com"}

Select allOpen in new window

If that doesn't work, please post any errors you get.

getting below error

Get-ADUser : Cannot find an object with identity: 'samaccountname' under: 'DC=test,DC=com'.

@rich ...I tried it as per your update . getting below error

PS C:\Users\Administrator> Import-Module ActiveDirectory
$users = Get-ADUser "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\new requriment\input.csv" | Move-ADObject $users -TargetPath "OU=disabledounew,DC=test,DC=com"

Is the file a CSV? Looks like you have a header on it. Did all the accounts move except for "samaccountname"?

its a csv file...looks like below one

samaccountname
test1
test2

only 2 account am trying to move to OU

perfect...working fine

can you please explain what does % and  $_.

|%{ Get-ADUser $_.Samaccountname |

Sure thing:

% is a alias for Foreach-Object cmdlet.
$_ is the object in the pipeline. In this case the object is a CSV row. The .samaccountname is the column that I want to get the value of.

Nicely  designed  script and Good  explanation

Good support . Thanks Jeremy

Glad to help. :)
