Answer 1

You don't say how you'll get the information!

Is there a reason you're using the "Description" property instead of the "ManagedBy" property to identify the person responsible for the computer?

Here's one way to do what you asked:

#  
# CSV file has two columns: "Computer" and "Owner"  
#  
  
Import-CSV c:\junk\ComputerOwner.csv|  
    ForEach-Object{  
        $c = Get-ADComputer -Filter "Name -eq '$_.Computer'" -Properties Description  
        if ($c){  
            $c | Set-Computer -Description ("{0} {1}" -f $c.Description, $_.Owner)  
        }  
        else{  
            Write-Host "Computer '$($_.Computer)' was not found." -ForegroundColor Yellow  
        }  
    }
