    # Connect to AzureAD
    Connect-AzureAD
    
    # Get CSV content
    $CSVrecords = Import-Csv C:\Temp\Test.csv -Delimiter ";"
    
    # Create arrays for skipped and failed users
    $SkippedUsers = @()
    $FailedUsers = @()
    
    # Loop trough CSV records
    foreach ($CSVrecord in $CSVrecords) {
        $upn = $CSVrecord.UserPrincipalName
        $user = Get-AzureADUser -Filter "userPrincipalName eq '$upn'"  
        if ($user) {
            try{
            $user | Set-AzureADUser -Department $CSVrecord.Department -TelephoneNumber $CSVrecord.TelephoneNumber
            } catch {
            $FailedUsers += $upn
    
            Write-Warning "$upn user found, but FAILED to update."
            }
        }
        else {
            Write-Warning "$upn not found, skipped"
            $SkippedUsers += $upn
        }
    }

    Hi Azim Iqbal ,

    To see if you receive different results, please try changing this line:

    $CSVrecords = Import-Csv C:\Windows\system32\TempAzureADUserAttributesNSS12.csv -Delimiter ";" 
    

    To the following:

     $CSVrecords = Import-Csv C:\Windows\system32\TempAzureADUserAttributesNSS12.csv
    

    Also, please try displaying your file to ensure that Windows isn't adding a double extension:

    dir C:\Windows\system32\TempAzureADUserAttributesNSS12.csv 
    
    

    Let me know if this helps and if you are still facing this issue. There are some troubleshooting steps for that script offered in this thread: [https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-powershell/bulk-update-azure-ad-with-user-attributes-from-csv/m-p/1374479
