Hello,

Looking to remove/clear multiple extensionattributes in AD by EmployeeID.

I have a .csv full of employeeID’s that need all of their extensionAtrribs cleared out

This should do the trick.
It's in test mode and will only display which attributes it would clear. Remove the -WhatIf at the end of line 6 to run it for real.
Import-Csv -Path C:\Temp\employeeid.csv | ForEach-Object {
	If ($adUser = Get-ADUser -Filter "employeeId -eq '$($_.employeeId)'" -Property *) {
		Write-Host "Clearing extensionAttributes for '$($adUser.SamAccountName)' ..."
		If ($clear = @($adUser.PropertyNames) | Where-Object {($_ -like 'extensionAttribute*') -and ($adUser.$_)}) {
			Write-Host "... $($clear -join ', ')"
			Set-ADUser -Identity $adUser -Clear $clear -WhatIf
		} Else {
			Write-Host "... no extensionAttribute found to clear."
		}
	} Else {
		Write-Warning "No user found with employeeId '$($_.employeeId)'"
	}
}
