I had below powershell scripts is working fine. I need further help for below

How to add one more condition check ==> if the user already turn on Automatic reply, skip the action and proceed to next users.

$csv = Import-Csv "C:\drive\EnablingUsers.csv"

Foreach ($line in $csv) {
Set-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration $line.user –AutoReplyState Scheduled –StartTime $line.startdate –EndTime $line.enddate –ExternalMessage $line.externalmessage –InternalMessage $line.internalmessage
}

Does this work?

If ( (Get-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration).AutoReplyState -eq "Disabled"){
    Set-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration . . . 
}

PowerShell cmdlets are usually orthogonal . . . if there's a "Set-" there's usually a "Get-".

This is my full coding. I had added and run it. No error. But it didn't enable the automatic reply when the state is disabled. Need your further advice.

thank you in advance

Foreach ($line in $csv) {
$sd= $line.StartDate
$ed= $line.EndDate
$starttime = [DateTime]::SpecifyKind([datetime]$sd, "LOCAL")
$endtime = [DateTime]::SpecifyKind([datetime]$ed, "LOCAL")
If ( (Get-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration).AutoReplyState -eq "Disabled"){
Set-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration $line.user –AutoReplyState Scheduled –StartTime $starttime –EndTime $endtime –ExternalMessage $line.externalmessage –InternalMessage $line.internalmessage
}
}

Sorry. I forgot to add the $line.user to the Get-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration cmdlet.

If that doesn't fix it, run the Get-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration against a mailbox you know doesn't have auto-reply set and check the value of the AutoReplyState property.

I am new to this . sorry to asking more

will this be good ?

Foreach ($line in $csv) {
$sd= $line.StartDate
$ed= $line.EndDate
$starttime = [DateTime]::SpecifyKind([datetime]$sd, "LOCAL")
$endtime = [DateTime]::SpecifyKind([datetime]$ed, "LOCAL")
If ( (Get-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration).AutoReplyState $line.user -eq "Disabled"){
Set-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration $line.user –AutoReplyState Scheduled –StartTime $starttime –EndTime $endtime –ExternalMessage $line.externalmessage –InternalMessage $line.internalmessage
}
}

No. The $line.user is in the wrong place. Try this:

Foreach ($line in $csv) {
    $sd = $line.StartDate
    $ed = $line.EndDate
    $starttime = [DateTime]::SpecifyKind([datetime]$sd, "LOCAL")
    $endtime = [DateTime]::SpecifyKind([datetime]$ed, "LOCAL")
    If ( (Get-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration $line.user).AutoReplyState -eq "Disabled") {
        Set-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration $line.user –AutoReplyState Scheduled –StartTime $starttime –EndTime $endtime –ExternalMessage $line.externalmessage –InternalMessage $line.internalmessage
    }
}
